Designing for Spaces

Designing for Spaces (EoYS)
Course open to BFA 3 and 4 Graphic Design
students. Others by permission of instructor
only. D300 and D301 galleries (along with The
Motion Show in the Bijou). The website, posters,
announcements, e-mail blasts, social media,
etcetera, are considered supporting material. But
another way to look at these different elements
is as different types spaces in which the
exhibition is communicated and experienced. This
class examines what types of encounters and
experiences of the work produced in the program
that these different spaces might afford. How can
we imaginatively, yet pragmatically, share the
Program's accomplishment to different audiences?
Students will work collaboratively to focus on
different creative and pragmatic aspects of
realizing the collective vision for the show.

Special Topics is a series of upper level graphic
design seminars that deal with relevant and
pertinent topical issues chosen by the
instructors. They are designed to tackle
important contemporary issues in a timely
fashion. Reading, discussion, assigned projects,
or field trips may be used to engage students to
examine their work in the context of a focused
dialogue. In order for students to take advantage
of the diversity of approaches offered by our
regular and visiting faculty, this course is
designed to be taught by various instructors in
each semester and multiple sessions of the same
course may be offered in the same semester.
