Narrative and Advocacy Design

Catalog description

This is a course in which students will find their design voice. The underlying theme will be narrative (linear and non-linear) as we investigate the designer’s role and responsibility within society. Students will explore a range of issues from recycling, sustainability and consumer consumption to community involvement and relationships with not-for-profit organizations through creative projects and investigation into contemporary and historical solutions. Additional opportunities for basic exploration in media software applications creating linear narratives will occur through project solutions.
