This class explores the ever-expanding territory where illustration meets design. The hybrid designer-illustrator is head and shoulders above the pack, possessing drawing skills; a keen sense of color, typography, and layout; and an interest in doing it all. Today’s new breed is poised for long and varied careers. Guest speakers who exemplify these qualities present case studies; slide show lectures provide inspiration; and practical assignments afford students opportunities to produce portfolio work. Assignments include a range of packaging, objects, logos, animation boards, and advertising, all created using a multidisciplinary approach.
