CRN: 2049
Credits: 3
Urban interventions will look at illustration in the built environment, this might be printed matter found in a subway station, murals, or protest banners. What does it mean to design communications in these contexts? How is illustration functioning? Projects may consider the illustrator as Flaneuse or Psychogeographer, as well as learn about culture jamming and the use of images in direct action. How can illustration be used to change our relationship with a city and with its citizens? New Media will also consider how technology informs our use of illustration: what are the illustrative possibilities of advanced and progressive media such as GIFs, AR (Augmented Reality), Instagram face filter masks, virtual backgrounds, and digital 3d work. Students should choose this section if: They are interested in illustration outside the screen and page, especially in activist or culture jamming contexts They want to expand their illustration/animation skills through experimental or cutting edge practice including digital 3D
