Emphasis is placed on the students’ ability to contextualize their work within larger historical, cultural, social, and technological frameworks and translate their cumulative knowledge into effective visual communication. This course is taught through a multi-faceted, in-depth design thesis, which is supported by review sessions with peers and external critics, as well as a design lecture series. Thesis is initiated by research topics and not by media or technology, and students will be challenged to consider context and audience. The focus is on concept development, cross-media making, and critical thinking. Students will present their thesis to a panel of external design professionals and, in the process, demonstrate effective visual, verbal, and written presentation of work.
