5.00 Credits
Students select a work of fiction (a poetry collection, a novel, a short story collection, a children's tale, or mythological narrative) of sufficient length and depth to accommodate a minimum of 15 story illustrations, including one double-page spread and three additional images for cover, title page, and dedication-making a total of 18. Text and image relationships are addressed and considered, leading to a final project that includes both. This course is appropriate for developing illustrators, writers, art directors, and students seeking to enter the publishing industry. Topic definition occurs before the winter break in consultation with the professor.

5.00 Credits
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.

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.

The sketchbook has long been seen as an artist's greatest internal resource. In this course, students are making images that explore visual narratives-but the raw materials for these stories come from exploration inside the pages of their sketchbook. This course develops the vital discipline of daily drawing. The assignments include both conceptual and applied projects such as illustrated book jackets and short stories. Significant time is spent in media exploration, technical master, and professional practices.

5.00 Credits
In this class, we explore motion, sound, and interactivity to produce dynamic visual information for the screen. The first assignment reviews differences and similarities between print-based media and motion design. The second assignment creates a real-time production using interactivity and concurrency. The final project includes theme development, self-running (synchronized) diagrams, and animation. Incorporating sound effects and/or music are required for all projects. We intend to gather and upload all three projects for a web site. For example, the assignment is used for a banner, the second assignment is used for an optional link, and the final project is used as the main information of the web site. Software for this course includes Illustrator and Photoshop; Flash and/or After Effects for motion; and Dreamweaver for web editing. This course focuses more on the quality of ideas and the structuring of visual information in time than on software instruction.

Historical development of communication design based on a survey of significant artists and designers and the ideas, styles, movements, forces, and individuals who influenced their work. This course is a component of the Communication Design major.

3.00 Credits
An investigation of text, image, design, and production within the broad realm of illustrated books. A series of exploratory exercises in the beginning of the semester yields to a single sustained project to be proposed and developed by the student. Project emphases may include visual narrative, textual interpretation, creative writing, typography, structure and sequencing, and material investigation. Production methods may include relief and letterpress; engraving and intaglio; offset lithography; and digital, "virtual" media. Certain projects may require a second semester of study to complete.
