| Description: | This course centers on the creation of word-image relationships. It focuses on intensive visual methodology and clear communication. Students make illustrations, explore typography, and bring visual elements together into a unified whole. Projects take the form of posters, image sets, books, icons, maps, labels, infographics, etc. As the course progresses, the student works to narrow their focus within the field of visual communications by selecting particular projects from a suite of offerings. Required for sophomore Communication Design majors. Prerequisite: Digital Studio. The course is open to non-majors and design minors as space permits. |

| Description: | In this studio course students build upon concepts and skills from Fashion Design I, focusing on experimentation, technical precision, and creative expression. Students further develop skills in draping patterns on the form and designing for a range of bodies, genders, clothing styles and materials. Sizing, fit, and garment construction skills are emphasized. Students develop garments from sketch to final sample garments for specified markets and customer groups. Students will present designs through written, oral, and visual methods. Work is evaluated for technical precision and creative expression, and presented in the annual fashion design show. Prerequisite: Fashion Design I |

| Description: | User experience research can make or break a design. It is an essential way to better understand whether, and how, a given design meets intended needs and outcomes. This studio course explores the foundations of user research, appropriate for digital and analog products. Through projects, discussions, and readings, students will build an understanding of the role of research in interface design. Students will practice research methods including interviews, surveys, contextual inquiry, peer analysis, and heat mapping. Students will create artifacts that contextualize research within the broader UX design process, including personas, journey maps, user flows, and low-fidelity prototypes. Prerequisite: Interaction Foundations, CS 131, or permission of instructor. This course counts as a Communication Design major elective. |

| Description: | New technology changes the way we receive, consume, and interact with information. Making work that can adapt to its context, environment, and user's preferences is a vital skill for artists and designers. This studio course explores the design and development of adaptive design systems to generate customizable and variable outputs. Through projects, readings, presentations, and discussions, students explore the use of procedural process, logic, and variable input to generate forms and experiences in both physical and digital space. Projects will cover traditional and digital mediums ranging from generative books and posters to interactive websites and performative experiences. Prerequisite: Communication Design: Interaction Foundations or Introduction to Computer Science. |

| Description: | Typography is a medium that can carry meaningful and complex communicative weight, and it affords designers with endless opportunities to engage others and to invite interpretation. In this form-making course rooted in typography, students will seek to manipulate and enact letterforms to create projects that communicate narrative in new and inventive ways -- breaking rules, scaling things up, using a range of materials, and making things move. Projects will span a range of formats, with the course serving as a catalyst for investigation of the myriad ways that letterforms, typography, and language can function as a provocative, interaction, platform, installation, image, and more. An openness to materiality, play, and experimentation is essential. Prerequisites: Digital Design, Typography I+II, or permission of instructor. |

| Description: | How must a drawing be constructed, both formally and narratively, to function inside of a game? This course, intended for image-makers, will concentrate on the assets and aesthetics of game design. Students will engage the subjects of character development, 8-bit graphics, user interface, simple animations and background design. Beginning with foundational questions of how and why we play games, students will create their own images, built upon exploratory research into existing games and frameworks. Prerequisites: Word & Image I & II, Digital Studio. This course counts as a Communication Design major elective. |
