Designing for Spaces

Designing for Spaces (EoYS). Course open to MFA
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.
