Representation and Production Techniques

Communication Design
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The unit aims to provide the student with practical skills to reproduce their graphic work using various techniques. Taking into account the exploration and experimentation that results from different techniques, particularly through manual crafts; we will address different analogue and digital technologies, which allow the student to develop critical skills regarding the choice of techniques according to aesthetic, graphic and ergonomic values.
  • ProgramaProgramme
    Various 2D printing techniques will be discussed, where reproducibility is the principle. Developing students' skills according to the different experiences they will develop in the different units or resulting from the previous semester. It is intended that the student in this unit can think critically about their work and identify how representation can be elevated to another final result, identifying alternative techniques for its design. 2D reproduction techniques such as linoleum printing, screen printing, rhizography, stenciling, gel printing plate and typography will be introduced. Also understand the use of these singular or grouped objects for different communication purposes. Understanding the object as an experience, as an artistic object and as an object of desire
  • ObjectivosObjectives
     Explore different representation and production (reproduction) techniques, with a special focus on the articulation of the creative processes of design, through a rationale that starts from analogue to digital; - Experiment with materials and production (reproduction) models for the production of artifacts; - Leverage content developed in other UFCs to create connections between know-how and different design domains; - Understand the two dimensions, and how to elevate 2D; - Train students to understand the dimension and specificities of industrial production; - Understand the exploration of different techniques, including current ones such as digital manufacturing.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
     - Project based by learning - Provide students with visual culture about these techniques and results. - Students will develop practical skills, By doing, of different techniques, as a result of a first phase of contextualization on different applied examples. - Students will structure their work to identify at different stages what inspires them, what they want to try and what they want to develop. - Active participation in laboratory classes using equipment. Students will have to carry out several experiments and at the end of the semester deliver an object that compiles all the work developed and selected for this purpose. - 50% for all exercises developed - 40% for the final artifact - 10% for attendance
