VISUAL DESIGN FOUNDATIONS

Catalog description

This graduate studio introduces students with limited prior design background to the fundamentals of visual communication design. Students explore how form, typography, image and structure work together to shape meaning and learn to communicate ideas clearly through visual form. Through critique, creative projects and iterative design, students build essential skills in composition, typography and software tools while developing a strong design process. Students learn to articulate their design decisions and develop thoughtful, well-executed solutions.
