Description:

The basic principles of design-balance, harmony, variety, dominance, proportion and movement-will be explored and integrated with the basic elements of design-line, shape, value, and texture-and applied to unique graphic concepts and relationships. Historical and contemporary symbols will be studied and utilized in a series of compositions. Letter forms will become the basis of graphic designs that investigate the abstract power inherent in their shape as well as their power to communicate realistic meaning. Complex relationships that merge type and images can then be creatively pursued. This union forms the basis of an understanding of the potential of graphic design. (3 hours lecture/3 hours studio.)
