Description

Do you love seeing the Graphic Design Program's
Visiting Designers but wish you could delve deeper
AND get credit for attending the lectures and
presentations? This class will achieve that!

Each student (or possibly several students) will
be assigned at least one Visiting Designer for
which they'll do the following: Before each
presentation: Research the person's work; make a
poster; introduce the presenter.
After each presentation: Produce a (critical)
review of the presentation or lecture or
journalistic coverage. Whichever form is chosen,
the piece should take a visual form. It can be
"straight" writing; a visual essay; a critical
fiction; or visual journalism.

The outcome will be a zine that compiles all the
writing and documents the Series.

All students will be required to attend the
Visiting Designer presentations and engage the
visitor by asking questions and/or engaging
conversation.
