ART 317: Junior Design Studio I: Graphic Vernacular

Junior Design Studio I builds on foundational skills developed in the intro to Integrative Graphic Design course. This studio adopts a workshop model to refine students' ability to articulate visually using image and typography. With an emphasis on iterative practice, students will engage in projects that challenge their technical, conceptual and formal abilities. This course encourages precision in craft and intentionality in design, exploring how visual systems convey meaning. Through structured repetition, critique, and hands-on workshops, students will gain fluency in graphic production while advancing their understanding of form, hierarchy, and context.
