DM-UY 4193 HYBRID VISUAL IDENTITY: DESIGN AND APPLICATION

This course is an advanced, project-based experimental design studio with parallel discussions of readings and critical theories in contemporary visual culture and visual identity creation. Students will devise and construct a visual identity (brand) for an imagined persona, collective or organization, then (as a class, communally, collaboratively) design an application of their brand in the form of a digital experience with the opportunity to incorporate, combine, and hybridize multiple media and disciplines. Students should be fluent in usage of the Adobe Suite, digital design and prototyping using Figma, and an iterative ideation design workflow. Experimentation and intentional misuse of design tools will be central to the course experience. Possible disciplines through which students can draw from and/or explore further include graphic (2D) design, spatial (3D) design, animation (4D) design, sound design, digital prototyping, code, and other digital media skill sets they have developed through their IDM foundation.

DM-UY 3183 Photography and Words

This course explores various image editing techniques and outputs, utilizing various styles of text, including fiction and non-fiction. The assignments foreground how text influences viewers’ perception of images, and how images can enrich a body of writing. Students will use a range of production skills to create work — using After Effects for animation, HTML/CSS for website creation, book and print design, and archival printing methods. All projects are accompanied by readings that provide historical and theoretical grounding to support the concepts explored through practice. An emphasis on refining technical and aesthetic photography skills are central throughout the semester.

DM-UY 2173 Motion Graphics Studio

Motion graphics can be found in a wide range of media: broadcast, web, animation, and film to name a few. This course will allow students to explore the elements of time and space to convey messages and meaning through type, image, and sound for the screen. Individual creativity will be stressed as well as the understanding and use of industry-standard software for developing motion graphics.
