ART 438E - Communication Design: Nonfiction Illustrated for Page and Screen

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This course is devoted to the development and production of a visual book or screen-based illustrated work that communicates nonfictional content. Project content is produced in one of two ways: onsite social observation and reportage (example: the culture of amateur wresting), or the presentation of pre-existent factual material (e.g., the evolution of hominids). In the latter case, the student is expected to present evidence of substantial subject knowledge before the project begins. Screen-based texts may be typeset or delivered through the use of a soundtrack. This course is appropriate for developing illustrators, writers, visual journalists, story artists, and designers for image-driven contexts. Topic definition occurs before the winter break in consultation with the professor.
