3 credits Building on the foundation level concerns covered in Designing with the Computer I, this course continues to develop the personal artistic exploration that was begun in the previous, prerequisite course. This course strives to provide students with an opportunity to build on their creative abilities by dedicating more time to each assignment. By provid ing more time to develop fewer projects, students focus on more complex requirements and push towards finding a personal style or vision. Sample projects are more open-ended and include creating basic animation and text design, anatomical composite imaging, landscape image composition drawn freehand with synthetic color and digitally altered to include a visu al metamorphosis. Artistic collaboration and discussion about issues of environmental "green" design are alsorequired. Field research at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum and/or MOMA, along with a written research paper and research book are also required. This class is not a tutorial for industry software programs, but rather a creative, investigative journey destined to open new vistas. Prerequisite: VIS 1064N. Offered: 2008 - 2010.
