4.00 Credits
4 credits. Every semester An introduction to a variety of concepts and tools used in 2-D composition. Observation and discovery of visual and compositional properties lead to projects that exercise principles important to all 2-D media: line, shape, volume, field, scale, space, edge, contrast, rhythm, texture, pattern, symmetry, asymmetry, proportion, sequence, and color. Introductory relationships between letterform and image are also introduced. Required for all visual arts majors.
-
4.00 Credits
and 3400 4 credits ( per semester). Fall Students become familiar with hot-type technology, relief printing, and its contemporary aesthetic possibilities in both the applied and fine arts. Hands-on experience with handset, moveable type is provided, and traditional and experimental techniques are explored. No previous typographic experience is required.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits. Fall An introduction to the Macintosh computer and the 2-D software applications that graphic designers need as tools for professional creative work. The primary programs covered are QuarkXPress and Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. Required for graphic design majors; offered as NME 2450 for new media majors.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Fall An introduction to the professional program in graphic design and visual communications. Emphasis is on skill development in: controlling the performance of elements within a field; generation, refinement, and analysis of graphic forms and representations through a variety of drawing techniques; development of symbols and icons; composition, variation, and discovery of word/image relationships through experimentation and play. Historical typographic distinctions are also explored. Required for graphic design majors. Corequisite: VDE 2450
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Spring This continuation of VDE 2500 emphasizes semiotic relationships between typographic and other graphic forms. Projects evolve from exercises to more applied final projects (e.g., brochures and posters). This course covers the representation and communication of ideas through images, type/image relationships, typographic hierarchy (through placement, scale, color, weight, juxtaposition), and problem solving techniques. Required for graphic design majors. Prerequisite: VDE 2500
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Special topic (offered irregularly) An intensive studio course for talented students who are having difficulties with design. Exercises in type (e.g., legibility, scale, hierarchy, color, weight) and image making (drawing, photography, collage) are presented in a formal context. Concept-driven projects help students investigate the power of informed manipulation of type and image. Creative approaches to problem solving, including Gestalt principles of organization and “lateral thinking,” are also examined and applied. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Spring In this course, which builds on the skills and processes explored in VDE 3180 and 3700, emphasis is on designing for interactive media (e.g., CD-ROMs, Web sites, interactive kiosk displays, interactive installations, performance). Students develop skills in designing storyboards, navigational systems, scriptwriting, sequential picture and sound editing, and typography in motion. Individual final projects focus on appropriateness of communication design, inventiveness, and nonlinear organization of many elements. Prerequisite: VDE 3180 and 3700
