Overall Level of Performance (maximum 24 marks)
Clarification of terminology: Integrating and synthesising – Taking a diverse range of design ideas, graphics knowledge and skills, blending them into a coherent whole or combine them in a new way so as to produce an effective outcome. Coherence – A diverse range of elements and ideas that are brought together effectively as a unit, with a logical consistency, clarity and unity of thought and/or purpose. Innovative – Ideas that lead to something new and/or different, whether it is something original or renewed, in terms of either aesthetics or function. Sophisticated – Ideas that engage a complexity of design thinking, whether reflected through in-depth and refined understanding, or utilising multiple layers of meaning. Articulate Outcome – An outcome that demonstrates clarity of intent or purpose. Visual Communication Techniques – the modes, media and methods associated with visually communicating information. Visual Communication Strategies – the visually based approaches that that act as design tools for the generating and developing of design ideas.

Commentaries for the Scholarship DVC exemplars 2012
Ablution Block (6, 4, 4 = 14)
This spatial design project exemplifies a low Scholarship submission that sits just above the cut off for 2012.
The strengths of this submission lie in the Design Thinking strand from a conceptual perspective. There are some very good idea generation and exploration. This is especially the case in the early stages of the project where there is the effective generation and investigation of architectural form. Gathered sources of inspiration are integrated well throughout the formative stages of the project with many of the images used having thematic links to the waterfront location. Exploratory sketches are very effectively employed and there is a sophistication of thinking demonstrated through the continual revisiting of the orange strips as a central idea that is reiterated both for the exterior and interior of the design.
With regards to the Synthesis strand, the submission is not as strong by comparison. Where the exploration of ideas is so strong, the resolution and refining is not so extensive in terms of the progression of the design moving forward. The synthesising of the interior and exterior that is informing each other and manifested through a coherent whole is not convincingly demonstrated, though there is the good consideration given to the organisation of the floor play layout.
For the Visual Communication strand, the candidate shows some very good quality sketching employing the effective use of pen and orange marker. The considered use of the orange accent colour and graphic arrows also allows the viewer to follow the narrative of design thinking that runs through the project. There is some good refinement in the techniques and strategies used, but there isn’t the quality final presentation pages that visually promote the outcome as required to be evidenced for high quality presentation. While the layout is effective, the selected drawings are not the best for convincingly communicating the design, with some of the drawings being too small and the larger ones remaining rather ambiguous.
