Graduate Studio I
Graduate requirement for majors – 6 credits
Fall 2008
This studio course, as groundwork for the graduate thesis, will emphasize inquiry as a primary means for learning. Through making, reflection, collaboration, and critique, we will explore the underlying principles that design objects require, and synthesize theory and practice as necessary partners in graphic design. We will look at the designer’s role in the process of revealing and making meaning—as an objective mediator, and as an author/producer, integrating content and form across projects as visual expressions of the individual thesis investigation.
