Graphic Design for Social and Cultural Contexts

Catalog description

Prerequisites: 1) ART 342 and ART 346; 2) Degree-seeking status, or enrollment in a Department of Art and Design program. Instruction on how design thinking can be applied to social and cultural contexts. All projects are developed around the idea of “design for good,” meaning that project and client choices should have foundations in philanthropy, education or outreach. Coursework will be shaped by audience/client needs developed through in-depth research and prototyping. Some projects may result in traditional design solutions, but students will be encouraged to develop conceptual applications to complex unframed problems.
