Thesis Highlights
Visual Communication & Advocacy
This course explores graphic design as a tool for communicating information and advocating for various purposes, in both print and digital forms. Students gain skills in Adobe Creative Cloud programs including Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. The course covers topics such as visual analysis and design research methods, informational hierarchy and typographic layout, and how to effectively apply design principles to create impactful visual communication and elicit a meaningful audience response. Coursework is largely project based, with lectures, demos, pin ups and reviews, and in-class lab time included. Good graphic design can act as a megaphone—taking an important message and making it louder, enabling more people to ‘hear’ it.
