This is an essential course for emerging designers entering the field, or for students interested in learning more about visual culture and analysis. By participating in this survey of the works of innovative groups and individuals, we outline the process by which graphic design moved from a purely instrumental practice, to becoming a demanding creative and hybridized field.Įach week, a short quiz will test your knowledge of concepts, and a short reflective assignment will give you the opportunity to analyze the questions designers ask themselves today. Students will develop an understanding of where the wide variety of today’s design practice comes from. Together we’ll trace the emergence of design as a recognized practice, why things look the way they do, and how designers approached specific design problems in their work. This condensed survey course focuses on four key periods or themes from the history of design in the West.
