Indigenous Design

Former staff member visit

The Visual Communication Design students were fortunate to have former BGS staff member Katie Bugden present to their class.

In alignment with the new Visual Communication Design Study Design, Katie linked key topics of her work to the Unit 2 Area of Study 2: Cultural ownership & design.

Major areas presented were ‘Legal and ethical considerations of Indigenous design’, ‘Inspiration behind Indigenous design’ and ‘What is Totem design?’.

It was a fantastic presentation which the students enjoyed; it was also nice to see Katie again who might be undertaking some further consulting with the Visual Communication Design Department in the future.
