Design work is printed on an Epson Stylus Colour II printers giving 720 dots per inch resolution with final results appearing as simulations of high quality photographs. Students using the above technologies are able to proudly present their work and ideas in a range of formats to future employers, tertiary institutions etc. Many students have entered various Australian universities and institutions solely on the presentation of their efforts in this contemporary subject. Multimedia authoring software is ideal for combining still images, text, animations, photographs, sound and video sequences for final presentation. The students' involvement in this activity led to the achievement of a range of specific learning outcomes outlined in the Schools Board of Tasmania Computer Graphics and Design Syllabus .
Many students have fresh, unhindered, clear minds.
In the past we have restricted their creative ability particularly in forming real world design situations We have forced them to create three dimensional solutions on two dimensional pieces of paper. Students were given a clear understanding of the criteria for assessment and the standards from which they would be judged. Excellence in design was a major factor in the assessment of the students' final solution to the above exercises. Rendering of even a simple design concept can take many minutes or even hours to render a full screen image. Powerful computers are necessary for this.
