GRAPHIC DESIGN ART 469b 01, Advanced Graphic Design / Designer vs. User
GREEN 210 F 1.30-5.20

Advanced Graphic Design is a general graphic design studio course. This semester we will focus explicitly on a goal which, like all conversations, pulls in two directions. How can you be present as an idiosyncratic individual in the work you produce? But how can that work still communicate on its own to a broad audience, and even be useful? Through practice, by the end of this studio you may feel closer to having your own set of imperfect answers to that double question.

Throughout the semester, we concentrate on making graffiti: The design of a set of outdoor marks and tours for New Haven. As such, this course also replaces the class formerly known as “Multimedia Design” and includes a technological component both in the metaphor of designing outdoor interaction as a way to learn about screen-based interaction, and in the final project to design an interface for a handheld computer. No prior technical experience is required. Materials fee: $150. Dan Michaelson.

Prerequisite: ART 367a or ART 468a or permission of instructor.
