DO WHAT YOU LOVE

NAU MAI HAERE MAI WELCOME TO CREATIVE ARTS

THE COLLEGE OF CREATIVE ARTS AT MASSEY UNIVERSIT Y IS A WORLD-CL ASS ART AND DESIGN SCHOOL. GLOBAL UNIVERSIT Y AGENCY QS HAS JUST RANKED THE COLLEGE IN THE TOP 100 IN THE WORLD, AND THE BEST ART AND DESIGN SCHOOL IN WELLINGTON. OUR GRADUATES ARE EMPLOYED ALL OVER THE WORLD, DEVELOPING PRODUCTS, AND CREATING EXPERIENCES, ENVIRONMENTS AND IMAGERY THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

We look for courageous, enthusiastic and dedicated students with a passion for the creative arts. As part of the creative community here you will learn from your peers as much as from the staff. You’ll be inspired by who you meet, by the spaces you create in and by the experiences you have every day.

Our programmes are underpinned by a framework that acknowledges our distinct cultural and geographical location in Aotearoa New Zealand. They are focused on developing graduates who are confident thinkers and makers who display toi, mōhio, mātauranga, mana, and whānaungatanga – creativity, skill, understanding, autonomy and connectedness.

�� SIR RICHARD TAYLOR Alumnus and inaugural member of the College’s Hall of Fame (est 2007)

“What kills creativity more than anything else? And conversely, what needs to be present for creativity to flourish? A lack of love. Love needs to be present. A lack of it will diminish everything into mediocrity. The word love when used in relation to business undoubtedly causes some to roll eyes and some to think ‘what a dopey thing to say’. BUT…the creative process and the business surrounding it, if devoid of love, is a very hollow endeavour.You could imagine that a fair proportion of the world’s business leaders think from their heads – analyse, instruct, direct and critique through rigorous authority. Of course, if we are to engender passionate work colleagues focused on excellence within their creative endeavour, we need to lead with our heart.“

— Sir Richard Taylor in The Leaders Digest, 2016, by Suzi MacAlpine.

BACHELOR OF DESIGN WITH HONOURSBDes(Hons)

Selected EntryFour years full-time

Wellington

THE SCHOOL OF DESIGN NGĀ PAE MAHUTONGA HAS A HUGE REPUTATION FOR DESIGN EXCELLENCE THAT CAN BE TRACED BACK 130 YEARS. IN THIS TIME IT HAS PRODUCED SOME OF THE WORLD’S MOST RESPECTED AND SUCCESSFUL DESIGNERS.�

The BDes offers the best preparation to becoming a well-rounded designer, whatever your favourite subject or chosen field of practice. The first year of the Bachelor of Design introduces you to design practice and its core concepts, methods and applications through hands-on projects. You can learn and explore techniques, skills and processes specific to your major, and work with other students across art and design. You can also explore additional interests through a selection of electives.

DESIGN MAJORS INCLUDE: > Fashion design > Industrial design > Photography > Spatial design > Textile design > Visual communication design

WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT DESIGN AT MASSEY? > Vibrant studio environments:

collaboration spills into corridors and kitchens (and days into nights!)

> Shared briefs across majors: designers work in multi-disciplinary teams as well as on individual projects

> You will get to create systems and experiences as well as products

> ‘Office hours’: means you can seek advice from any academic staff member, not just your own lecturers

> Live briefs: work on projects for real clients > World-first bicultural framework

underpins the curriculum > Why four years? All design degree students

enrol in honours. Towards the end of third year, depending on your marks, you can decide whether you want to stay on the honours pathway, where your fourth year will be strongly research-led. The non-honours path is less research-focused and gives you room for more electives in fourth year. Either way you will emerge well-prepared for a creative career anywhere in the world. Our graduates are highly sought after, with a reputation for being some of the best thinkers and makers of the 21st century.

JOBS INCLUDE:Industrial designer, graphic designer, documentary photographer, fashion designer, spatial designer, textile designer, service designer, advertising executive, brand manager, commercial photographer, transport designer, experience designer, interaction designer, pattern maker, director, marketing executive, website designer, fashion stylist, typographic designer, product developer, freelance design contractor, producer, researcher, script-writer, archivist, event manager, editor, film director.

FASHION DESIGNBDes Major

FASHION IS EVERY WHERE, CONSTANTLY SHAPING US, AND BEING SHAPED BY US. THE CHANGING GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT MEANS THAT FUTURE FASHION THINKERS, MAKERS AND DESIGNERS NEED TO BE FLEXIBLE AND INNOVATIVE.

Fashion design students learn skills in pattern making, construction, materials, historical and contemporary fashion analysis and critical thinking, challenging how things are done through fashion design practice. You might design a 3D printed, open-source collection that can be produced anywhere, or a one-off garment that questions ideas of body image. Our facilities and staff offer almost unlimited possibilities!

You may find yourself on the catwalk following in the footsteps of alumni like Kate Sylvester, Rebecca Taylor, Collette Dinnigan and Kathryn Wilson; or taking up internships or international exchanges, through our highly connected industry and institutional networks; or if you have a competitive spirit, there are numerous fashion design competitions to enter, where fashion students at Massey have a long history of success.

�� YOSHINO MURUYAMA BDes (Hons), Fashion Design 2016

Yoshino was one of six New Zealand students selected to work with Indian fashion students in a competition supported by Education New Zealand and several fashion institutes in India. Yoshino loved the collaborative work. “I had a great partnership with Megha Sharma. The hardest part was narrowing down our ideas to six garments. Our collection was sustainable, as well as having specific patterns hand-knitted to add a sculptural aspect.”The experience was a game changer.

“I am now much more willing to look for resources, contact people, not just settle for what I can get my hands on. I feel much more confident to work with other people and across countries.”

INDUSTRIAL DESIGNBDes Major

GLENN CATCHPOLE, SOAP BOX RACER, 2015

AS AN INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER YOU’LL DEVELOP INSPIRATIONAL AND ELEGANT PRODUCTS, OBJECTS AND SYSTEMS SUCH AS SMART PHONES, MULTI-SPORT HYDRATION PACKS, BIKE PUMPS, PERFUME BOT TLES OR EVEN A LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR MARS.

You’ll help to define the world that future generations will come to experience. Students are encouraged to research and design using both traditional and digital processes to explore, communicate and make. Through studio-based classes you will learn about idea generation, materials and processes, human experience, ergonomics, visual communication, modelling and production.

The College offers state of the art workshops and digital fabrication facilities, including Australasia’s first Fab Lab. Our award-winning graduates have featured in Red Dot, Dyson, Electrolux, Sony, LG and Best Design Awards. Their careers include designing for Apple, Nike, Fisher & Paykel, Kathmandu, Navman and Weta.

�� GLENN CATCHPOLE BDes (Hons), Industrial Design 2015

Glenn Catchpole was looking for the sweet-spot, between a person, an object, and the environment – a place where you can find happiness. He found it with his BDes Honours project, a cardboard soapbox racer. The Kit-netic racer gives children growing up as digital natives the opportunity to ‘make’ using a medium they are familiar with. In 2016 Glenn began his Master of Design degree, exploring Zero Waste fabrication techniques to design and craft a series of kit-set/ flatpack chairs. He wants to make the assembly of kit-set products a joyful and rewarding experience for the user, and has established a start-up business called Papertowns, which aims to provide eco-friendly objects for sustainable visionaries.

PHOTOGRAPHYBDes Major

PHOTOGRAPHERS HELP PEOPLE TO SEE THE WORLD IN NEW WAYS. WITH THE EVER-EXPANDING REACH OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC MEDIUM THROUGHOUT ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES, PHOTOGRAPHERS OF THE FUTURE WILL NEED A BROAD CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING AND HIGHLY DEVELOPED TECHNICAL SKILLS, TOGETHER WITH A FL AIR FOR ADAPTING TO NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND MODES OF COMMUNICATION.

Students are introduced to a range of analog and digital technologies while developing a social and cultural understanding of photography’s place in society.

As the course progresses your work will embrace longer term, often self-directed projects dealing with ideas and issues of real relevance within your personal and professional life. Students use professional studios and colour-managed digital photography computer suites, in addition to a high quality digital print facility, wet-based darkrooms and specialist labs, throughout your study. You will work with a range of cameras and capture systems to realise your visual ideas.

Our photography staff are internationally renowned photographers in their own right. And when you graduate, you’ll join Massey alumni whose careers span the range from fine art to commercial, photojournalism, and fashion photography.

��WARA BULLOT BDes(Hons), Photography 2014

Wara grew up in Bangkok and travelled extensively before settling in New Zealand. This gave her a taste for adventure, and a well-honed ability to observe and engage with her surroundings, appreciating as well as questioning them. Wara was inspired by the work of photographer Bill Henson, and found the dark aesthetics and ambiguous narrative of his landscape work particularly attractive. Wara now lives in Auckland where she is working as a photographer at NZ Plant and Food Research, and is also pursuing her own freelance photography projects. She feels fortunate that her artwork is being recognised by galleries and the online world in both New Zealand and overseas. She says; ”I don’t think hard work alone is success, knowing why you are working hard is your biggest success.”

SPATIAL DESIGNBDes Major

SPATIAL DESIGNERS SHAPE THE ENVIRONMENTS THAT WE INHABIT AND THE WAYS THAT WE MIGHT EXPERIENCE THEM. THIS GROWING FIELD OF PRACTICE BRINGS TOGETHER INTERIOR, ARCHITECTURAL, LANDSCAPE, URBAN, PERFORMANCE, EXHIBITION AND DIGITAL DESIGN.

Spatial Design students learn to understand, represent and create spaces, working between studio, workshop and site-specific environments and using a range of tools and media to develop a broad set of specialist and transferable skills.

In Spatial Design at Massey we explore environments and events, offering opportunities to rethink built and virtual spaces in ways that are innovative, speculative, and mindful of the wellbeing of people and the planet. You will discover ways to imagine and construct engaging environments in both physical and digital space, from the big picture right down to the detail of construction and materiality.

STEPH O’SHEA, SIFTED MOTION, 2016

Our staff are practising designers and researchers who will challenge you to imagine spaces that question conventions and enrich experience. You will also be encouraged to explore the diversity of art and design areas offered at the College to develop a unique skill set that will lead to a wide range of career options.

Our graduates find exciting jobs as spatial, interior, architectural, digital, performance, landscape, web, digital FX, interaction and experience designers, and new types of jobs are constantly emerging.

�� STEPH O’SHEA BDes (Hons), Spatial Design 2016

Steph O’Shea took the ‘Internship’ paper during summer school in her third year, which led to a two-week trial with the Wellington City Council’s Urban Design team. They were so impressed they offered her a part-time job throughout her 4th year, as well as a job at the end of her degree.Steph’s work experience included helping with Wellington’s lane way developments through site visits, workshops and illustrating design applications for the lanes. Steph says; “Studying Spatial Design has hugely developed my design thinking, and provided me with tools to explore design through many different processes,” she says.

“I’m excited about the purpose behind design, and more confident about how to apply design thinking to my work.” Steph’s final year project is the redevelopment of Frank Kitts Park on Wellington’s waterfront.

TEXTILE DESIGNBDes Major

TEXTILES ENCOMPASS EVERYDAY FABRICS, HIGH-TECH PERFORMANCE MATERIALS, DIGITAL, SMART AND E-TEXTILES, AS WELL AS LUXURY HAND-CRAF TED CLOTH. TEXTILE DESIGNERS BRING TOGETHER A LOVE OF COLOUR, TEXTURE AND PAT TERN WITH DESIGN THINKING AND CRITICAL PRACTICE TO WORK ACROSS A RANGE OF DESIGN SCENARIOS IN FASHION, INTERIORS, ARCHITECTURE, PRODUCT AND BEYOND.

As a student of textile design you will explore your own interests and develop original concepts for textiles in response to society, culture and the environment. You’ll also be encouraged to apply textile design knowledge to non-textile materials and technologies, challenging the traditional boundaries of textile design. Past students have worked with wood, light, concrete and projection as well as silk, natural dyes and exquisite hand drawn imagery.

Our students thrive in an environment of experimentation and constructive critical thinking, with staff who are practising designers and researchers as well as state of the art facilities and equipment.

ABBY CULVER, BOTTOM OF THE BARREL

�� ABBY CULVER BDes (Hons), Textile Design 2016

Over the course of her degree Abby became increasingly aware of global sustainability issues, and these became a focus of her research into textile waste during her final year. Despite their best efforts, Save Mart, New Zealand’s largest used clothing recycler, still sends truckloads of textile waste to the landfill every week. For her final project Abby took textiles from the ‘bottom of the barrel’ to produce three large-scale bags, using laser cutting, layering and quilting techniques. Though this project only touched lightly on New Zealand’s problem with overconsumption, it is her hope that if it altered even one person’s view of textile waste then it served its purpose.

S T UD Y A DEGR EE

VISUAL COMMUNICATION IS ONE OF THE MOST PERVASIVE FORMS OF DESIGN. IT IS AT THE HEART OF HOW OUR WORLD WORKS; GUIDING, INFORMING, PERSUADING, AND INSPIRING US EVERYDAY.

Students of communication design learn how to convey a message, express a point of view, and transform perceptions. You will learn how to understand your audience, approach challenges with a new perspective, and develop innovative responses that improve, transform, or challenge our experience of the world.

Employment paths for a communication designer include the ‘traditional’ paths such as graphic designer, illustrator and web designer, and new areas such as interface designer, service and experience designer, brand manager, concept artist, and visual strategist...to name a few.

Visual Communication offers one of the broadest ranges of experiences available to any tertiary student including digital media, print, video and illustration. These different modes of working are delivered as a shared journey, emphasising the core principles and processes that interconnect them.

VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGNBDes Major

�� VALERIE POORT AND JEREMY HALL BDes (Hons) 2015 Visual Communication Design

Valerie studied both arts and science subjects at school but her parents encouraged her to study design – to learn a way of ‘thinking differently’. She appreciates that now, and credits Massey for teaching her how to look beyond the obvious answers, and discover what ‘design’ could mean in the 21st century. After a short time as a junior designer at Open Lab, a commercial design studio set up by Massey, she discovered her true passion in a Graduate Service Design role at the Department of Internal Affairs. As a service designer, Valerie explores what the public need from a service, designs the experience to meet this need and works with government to implement the changes for public good.Jeremy went to Hutt International Boys’ School, and while he loved art, he chose to study graphic design, where he found himself developing an interest in branding. It was through this that he discovered experience design, with its focus on working collaboratively with people to understand what they need and why. His fourth year project led to a job at Open Lab, and then to an internship at the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment. His current role includes participating in short, intense challenges that bring people together from across MBIE to design service improvements in areas as diverse as the Companies Office, employment, and occupational regulation. His work also involves developing personas, journey maps and service blueprints that ensure the end-users of services are kept at the centre.

POSTGRADUATE STUDY

�� AMY BLACKMORE, ANNABELLE FITZGERALD AND AVARA MOODY MDes 2015

Through thoughtful design, textile innovation and artisan craftsmanship, the LLANA Wool Fresh Bag was designed to be a versatile bag that could accommodate gym equipment, shoes, laptop, yoga mat, phone, and a wallet, while still looking professional at the office and chic at the wine bar. The journey for three Masters of Design students, Amy Blackmore, Annabelle Fitzgerald and Avara Moody, started when they were selected to work on this project with an American business partner and entrepreneur, Darrius Glover.

“Our brief from Darrius was to amplify the natural properties of New Zealand’s strong wool; develop the Wool Fresh material alongside AgResearch and then design the first product application. What we wanted to do in the process was, through design, change the perception of wool and show how useful and contemporary it can be,” Amy says. “A Masters done in collaboration wouldn’t be for everyone, but we were perfect together; Annabelle came from fashion so she brought excellent construction techniques; Avara had studied industrial design and brought product knowledge to the project; and I was the spatial designer and focused on the marketing, communications and video”.The crowdfunding campaign attracted 41 backers and raised US$38,966, enabling the first 50 bags to be produced for their customers in the US in late 2016.
