Topics

This course expands on previous graphic design knowledge and skills, offering students the opportunity to work on a major self-initiated design project. It emphasizes research and analysis as well as the design processes that lead to creative conceptualization and final design solutions. By the end of this course, the students must develop an original body of work, culminating in a final exhibit accompanied by a written work.
