ART 314: Junior Design Studio: The Graphic Impulse

Junior Design Studio forefronts experimental approaches to graphic design, with an emphasis on form and format. Students advance their knowledge of typography, visual organization, hierarchy of information, and sensitivity to content, form, function, and context. Students build on existing technical skills, research methods, and are introduced to a variety of outputs for production, including the Risograph Duplicator. Work is produced in both print and digital media, with additional consideration for installation, distribution, activation, as well as ideas surrounding publics (and counter-publics). Design projects will encourage hybridity amongst the varied disciplines housed within the division of Expanded Media. Two prior courses in Design, Video/Sonic, or Print Media Studio are recommended. May be taken up to four times for credit.
