ART 438F - Communication Design: Exhibition Design

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This course exposes students to the fundamental principles of exhibition design. We begin through the translation of a 2-dimensional design to one that is 3-dimensional. Issues of scale, line, shape, and form in space and the translation of typographic material to human scale are the focus of the first assignment. The second assignment focuses on how space may be used expressively to translate an historic, social, or scientific event into a more visceral experience for the viewer. The final project is based on subject matter of the student's choice. Final designs are presented as Illustrator drawings: to scale elevations and plan views, along with rough working models. Photography is used as a design tool. The class takes a field trip to Washington, D.C., required as part of the work of the course.
