Katoanga FinauFreelance Graphic DesignerBachelor of Design in Communication Design

Life as a freelance designer is exciting, says AUT communication design graduate Katoanga Finau.

Its fun, a lot of hard work and takes a lot of time but its all worth it at the end when you see your design out there. Small jobs often lead to bigger and better ones, and more doors start opening. Its a good feeling to finally work in the design world, says Katoanga who graduated at the end of last year.

Creating meaningful work Design projects are much more than just a job, she says.

Theres more to it than just fulfilling a criteria creating meaningful work is better. Right now Im designing a small newspaper for Tonga, which will be called Tonga Sun and will be distributed in New Zealand, Tonga, Australia and the USA. Its such a rewarding project.

Ive recently also completed a great project for Sony Records, doing the artwork for the album for Maala. The design was inspired by the style of my last AUT project, Beautiful Error, which involved using visual images based on glitches, says Katoanga.

Multiple options in one degree After enjoying doing graphics and design at high school, Katoanga knew design was what she wanted to study but wasnt sure which area of design to focus on.

I had heard that communication design covers multiple options within one major, so for me that was perfect. I could explore different areas of design within my degree to see what I liked.

My high school teachers recommended AUT to me before I applied. Im glad I made the decision to come here.

Shea Melville Motion Studio Technical Director, Weta Digital Bachelor of Design in Digital DesignBachelor of Art and Design (Honours)

Working for the internationally renowned special effects company that first inspired his career path is a dream come true for AUT digital design graduate Shea Melville.

Based at Wellingtons Weta Digital, the Academy Award winning visual effects facility, Shea works as motion studio technical director. It was Wetas portrayal of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, along with an interest in video games and a passion for art, that first inspired Sheas interest in the 3D and visual effects industry.

Motion capture is the art of recording a persons physical performance and placing that performance onto a 3D character like Gollum, explains Shea.

On the job Since starting at Weta, Shea has worked on The Hobbit trilogy, Iron Man 3 and The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes has been the most rewarding project to work on so far and its reception was awesome.

Its rewarding to be working with such talented people across the different departments here at Weta. And theres nothing better than watching the final movie and seeing your name in the credits.

Shea says the evolution of his role has kept his work challenging and interesting.

I was recently promoted from lead motion tracker to motion studio technical director and my major role of late has been operating our motion capture suite. It has given me the chance to work more closely with our animation supervisors. I like being on set or on stage in the thick of it.

Student specialist Motion capture is a specialised field and one Shea immersed himself in while studying at AUT. He says AUT gave him the freedom to focus on his area of interest while still a student.

At AUT I tried to use it in my projects wherever possible. I believe my experience in motion capture at AUT was the key to landing a job in such a unique and specialised area of work.

Jomnarn Dul Bachelor of Design in Fashion*

The chance to showcase your designs at AUTs Rookie fashion show is an invaluable experience, says AUT fashion design graduate Jomnarn Dul.

In my final year I had the opportunity to showcase my designs at AUTs Rookie fashion show. That was amazing! At the end of the show I was approached by Hallenstein Brothers to join their team.

That was one of the reasons why I first decided to study at AUT. I had heard it was the best fashion design programme, and the Rookie fashion show is extremely well known. I knew from day one that I wanted to be in it.

Supportive creative environment The fashion industry can be tough, so it was wonderful that the learning environment at AUT was really harmonious Jomnarn says.

Its like a big family and a fantastic base to go out into the workforce with. I would really recommend AUT for people interested in furthering their fashion career.

She credits her lecturers for opening up new opportunities for her.

In my second year at AUT, I was introduced to menswear as a path. Thats where I really came into my own as a fashion designer. I was encouraged to trust myself and my approach to design. Im grateful for that creative freedom!

Taking sustainable design to Hollywood Jomnarns menswear designs have not just impressed her AUT lecturers last year one of her designs graced the red carpet, worn by Twilight star Kellan Lutz to the Academy Awards.

Her design was the winner of the menswear section in the global Red Carpet Green Dress design competition, the brainchild of Suzy Amis Cameron, wife of Avatar director James Cameron. Jomnarns design, a tuxedo made of recycled bottles, was a variation on a tuxedo she originally designed for Hallensteins Ekocycle suit range.

After working as a buyers assistant for Hallenstein Brothers for the past three years, Jomnarn is now heading to London for the next step in her fashion career. *This major is now called Fashion Design.

Antonio Wan Bachelor of Design in Product Design Bachelor of Art and Design (Honours) student

Watching businesses show an interest in your creations is an amazing experience says AUT product design student Antonio Wan. Even more so when youre still at university.

In my second year at AUT, a vanity mirror I designed won Peoples Choice in an exhibition held at Bloc and was a finalist at the Best Design Awards. A limited run on the product is now selling through Douglas and Bec. That was an extremely valuable experience, Antonio says.

Along with five others, Antonio also had the design for the Hammer Bag camping product developed into a working prototype and Freedom Camping considered adding it to their product line.

These projects have allowed me to grow far more professionally than I would have ever thought possible. It makes me feel proud of what Ive achieved.

Outstanding facilities and staff At AUT you have easy access to a range of technologies, says Antonio.

It was one of the reasons why I came to AUT. The facilities are amazing, and include 3D printing and CNC machining.

We can use these during workshop hours, which gives us plenty of time to pursue our project work and experiment with our personal projects.

The tutors and lecturers have extensive knowledge in the design field, making the programme a great place to learn about all forms of design, says Antonio.

The product design degree covers a wide range of skills every designer should have before specialising in a specific field. Our lecturers always see tremendous potential in everyone and subtly point us in the right direction or reassure us were doing fine. Ive found this very helpful.

Giving back After finishing his Bachelor of Design at the end of last year, Antonio decided to return to AUT for another year to complete his honours degree.

For my honours project, Stephen Reay the head of AUTs product design department has set me up with a great project for the Auckland District Health Board. Ill be working on a product to improve experiences within the neonatal intensive care unit.

Spatial design is the design of human environments, incorporating aspects of interior design, architecture, urban design, performance, art and visual technologies. It involves studying the relationships between people and their environments, and designing ways to improve those environments. Many spatial designers work in interior architecture. Others pursue work in scenography or performance design, the creation of exhibitions and events, furniture design or virtual environments.

Our design approach is strongly driven by ideas and theoretical insights, particularly about the city, time and detail. We aim to bypass clichs and creatively question conventions about living, working and playing.

Throughout your studies you develop vital industry skills, as well as the creative capacity to thrive in the changing world of spatial design. You learn from staff who are active researchers, often with many years in design practice. You study in an environment that encourages active engagement with other professionals, practitioners, groups and communities.

KEY FEATURES:

Hands-on, studio-based learning Includes real-world spatial design projects Work with full-sized prototypes, installations, moving images and emergent technologies

What this major covers

Year 1Through Fabrication Studio I in the first semester and Spatial Design Studio I in the second semester, you learn conceptual thinking, and the making skills and communication skills to become a spatial designer. The papers Theory I, Digital Techniques I and Spatial Drawing further your creative thinking ability and visualising skills. In the second semester, you complete the first paper of your chosen minor.

Bachelor of DesignSpatial Design

Year 2You deepen your design skills through Fabrication Studio II in the first semester and Spatial Design Studio II in the second semester. Both papers integrate skills from the second year of your minor. You also complete the papers Digital Techniques II and Theory II.

Rameka Alexander-TuinukuafeNgpuhi, Ngi te wake ki te whenua, Ngti Rehia Architectural Graduate, Jasmax Bachelor of Design in Spatial DesignBachelor of Art and Design (Honours)

AUTs spatial design degree makes it easy to develop your own creative practice and find your career direction, says Rameka Alexander-Tuinukuafe who completed a Bachelor of Design in Spatial Design.

I chose spatial design because it offered a wide range of creative options without being overly prescriptive. I also loved that AUTs campus is at the heart of the city, which enabled us to be inspired by the city and meet other like-minded creatives.

The lecturers are really open to your individual design approach. Having attended kura kaupapa Mori for the majority of my schooling, my Mori perspective has a huge influence on my approach to design and architecture. The lecturers always encouraged me to pursue this, Rameka says.

Internship at Jasmax One of the highlights of Ramekas studies was being awarded the Vice-Chancellors Award for Excellence in Spatial Design at the beginning of his third year.

This was a fantastic opportunity because it included an internship position with Jasmax. My month at Jasmax was invaluable I participated in project meetings, site visits to

construction sites, social activities and had the opportunity to learn new digital skills. One of the most memorable experiences was being able to spend an hour speaking to interiors team principal Tim Hooson.

A great place to learn new skills Since joining Jasmax in 2009, Rameka has been involved in a number of roles in both interior design and architecture.

Jasmax is a great place to learn new skills there are always experienced people who are open to passing on their knowledge and experiences. My career highlight to date has been being part of the Te Whare Hou o Thoe project, which won a Best Awards Purple Pin in 2014 for the Ng Aho design category.

Another highlight has been leading the creation of a Jasmax waiata and helping raise an awareness of Mori culture at Jasmax, which is something Im very proud of.

He says he is constantly using the skills he developed at AUT, including networking and being able to communicate ideas to a larger group.

His very good drawing skills and design thinking have certainly impressed us over the last year and a half with our studio. He has an ability to think and explore projects from a broad, big picture angle. Originally, after completing his AUT degree, he joined our practice to work with our Interiors team but we quickly realised that his skills could potentially be more effectively utilised in my studio which works with many of our cultural projects. This has worked out really quite well for both Rameka and the practice.Hamish Boyd, Principal, Jasmax

Stacy BrettBachelor of Art and Design (Honours)Master of Creative Technologies student

The modern studios and strong industry connections are what first attracted Stacy Brett to AUTs art and design programme.

The facilities AUT design students have access to are very impressive 3D printing, laser cutting, digital printmaking, a knit machine These state-of-the-art facilities allow students to push the boundaries within their chosen field of expertise, says Stacy who is of Cook Island, Tahitian and Pkeh descent.

Taking on textile design Stacy choose the Textile Design major as it gave her the flexibility to explore her creativity on multiple levels.

Textile design isnt just limited to fabrics or fashion, it has many avenues you can explore: sustainability, photography, fashion, interior design or product design. Ive always been creative and loved design, so this programme was perfect for me.

I was especially interested in the print aspects of the programme, using programs like Photoshop and Illustrator to create digital prints. I loved being able to manipulate and explore colour, texture and layers. Its so much fun.

Support and motivation The constant support and motivation to push ideas forward is what Stacy enjoyed most about AUT.

The atmosphere within the university is great, and the lecturers are fantastic. The support of my lecturers has been amazing. Having one-on-one time has helped me gain confidence, skills and knowledge. You never feel like a number.

Not content to merely concentrate on her own studies, Stacy is also a Pacific student mentor, helping other students navigate the challenges of university life.

Giving back to the Pacific community has always been something Im passionate about and I encourage other Pacific students to do the same.

Exploring digital media After finishing her honours degree last year, Stacy is now continuing her studies with the Master of Creative Technologies.

Darcell ApeluArtist/Lecturer, Bay of Plenty PolytechnicBachelor of Visual ArtsMaster of Art and Design

AUT is a great environment to foster your creative practice alongside like-minded people, says Darcell Apelu who graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts.

Im originally from Tauranga and came to AUT to check out the campus. As soon as I walked through the visual arts building, I knew these were the people I wanted to be surrounded with.

An artists point of view At AUT, everything you do reflects the artists point of view and the expectations from the art world, Darcell says.

For example, the group exhibitions we did as part of our studies give you a good understanding of the reality of the exhibitions youll be involved in as an artist. We learned about all aspects that go into creating a show.

Darcell says her studies helped her gain a sense of self and discover who she is as an artist.

Life as an artist Now working as a self-employed artist, Darcell explores perceptions of the Pacific body within the social climate of New Zealand and the Pacific, working mainly in performance art and moving image.

Her work has been featured in a number of high-profile galleries including Artspace, Gus Fisher Gallery and ST PAUL St Gallery.

Jess HowellExperience Designer, Optimal Experience, PwCBachelor of Business in Design and Management

Jess Howell thinks her job gives her the best of both worlds a design role in a business environment.

The AUT Bachelor of Business graduate majored in design and management and now works as an experience designer for PwC.

User-focused Jess role involves research, analysis and design around users and the experiences that they have with companies, their products and their services, which makes perfect use of Jess business and design skills.

I love that everything we do is in the interest of the user. We try hard to find issues that people have using websites, apps and other services and make life that little bit easier for them by redesigning these experiences. Its challenging and Im constantly learning new things.

Recently I was an organiser of the Auckland Service Design Jam, part of the Global Service Jam, which is a full weekend event where we take people through the service design process. It was the largest in the world and a huge success!

Skills for life Jess says the most valuable skill she learned at AUT was how to work collaboratively with others something she uses in her job every day.

At AUT we often had to work together in teams and I learnt how to deal with people with different personality types, skills, abilities, attitudes, lifestyles and more. Its the same, if not more challenging, in the workplace.
