Description

This course provides an administrative and credit
structure for a series of workshops by visiting
graphic designers. The class will convene on
around three occasions over the course of the
semester for a visiting designer lecture (open to
all students in the program) followed by a 2-3
day intensive workshop (open only to students
enrolled in the class). Curated by the faculty
with input from students, these workshops will
expose students to a range of contemporary design
agendas, practices, and processes, and will put
students in direct dialogue with an international
network of influential design thinkers and
practitioners. The intensive workshop format will
demand that students work productively under
pressure and collaborate effectively. Students
must complete all workshops in order to receive
credit for the course.
