This course will give students an appreciation for the scope, meaning, technique, and use of contemporary illustration in design as well as look at its historical development and use. With an emphasis on hand drawn mark-making and drawing methods, ideation will also include collage, photography, and digitally produced and altered imagery for expanded exploration.
Drawing will be demonstrated to be a creative process that can be used in conjunction with a design project for the development of ideas and to help stimulate creative exploration.
Projects in this course will engage students in developing processes and formulating responses to creating an individual approach to illustration as a designer.
This course will also be a vehicle for those students wanting the opportunity to evolve an aspect of their undergraduate/graduate thesis research in an image-making direction to enhance their thesis level graphic design production and research, and allow them to utilize their drawing, image-making, and design ideation skill sets.
