In this Design Studio, First Year students are introduced to the processes of illustration and graphic design. While both disciplines have distinct characteristics and functions, they are closely linked historically and in contemporary creative practice. This course offers students a strong technical and conceptual framework for a major in Communication Design or Illustration. In weekly experimental studio sessions, students will explore various principles and methodologies from graphic design and illustration, exploring their intersections in contemporary client-based practice. Through incorporation of drawing, typography, painting, collage, and digital media, students will encounter new creative possibilities and find exposure to the dynamic opportunities available to the contemporary illustrator & designer.
