The focus of this studio subject is the development of both design thinking and dexterity with tools, and an increased awareness of communication strategies and practices, – specifically the generation and articulation of design possibilities through a series of studio-based projects.
Through a study of visual design traditions using images, text and animated elements, drawing on visual cultural histories, students will expand their experience of communicating through image and text through a range of studio workshops to working with a range of design techniques and graphic methods. These workshops will be a combination of contact time and independent study time.
