ARTS 305 - Graphic Design 2: Structures

(3)

FA. Equipped with a basic typographic proficiency, students in this course will hone their technical and conceptual skills through close examination of the structural elements of design. Hierarchy, grid systems, and organizational strategies are central concerns. Complex communication problems are addressed, incorporating formal and expressive typography, pictorial imagery, and personal narratives. Conceptually, distinctions between the analysis of form and the meanings of form are explored. Assignments range from the production of a multi-page publication using InDesign to the development of a design project using found materials. Prerequisite: ARTS 255. Materials fee.
