GDES4371: Data & Information Visualization

This is a studio course that will challenge you to apply the elements and techniques of graphic design towards the visual articulation of data. Through color, typography, visual hierarchy, and even animation, you will be expanding and sharpening how data can be presented in print and for digital displays. Alongside the design and development of data-driven graphics, we will also actively discuss, critique, and question the current conventions and trends involving the emerging field of data visualization. But most importantly, this studio class will also function as a laboratory where we will take risks and experiment with new visual forms and platforms that can change the way we disseminate data. We will be using a wide variety of data for multiple purposes, and there will be numerous challenges and opportunities to engage data as a medium for designers. All projects will be produced through Adobe CC, but if time allows, additional software tutorials will be given.
