GD 307Graphic Design Studio - Systems

4 credits · Graphic Design · Penn State

Design practice is evolving-focusing less on physical things and more on the connections between them. Increasingly, design practice is concerned with nodes and links-networks, systems, and communities of systems. This course advances concepts and methodologies learned in GD107, and GD207. The design objectives for third year studio evolve to include not just the physical and digital deliverables but focus on the connections between them. Through a series of comprehensive projects, students will analyze complex problems and address integrating concepts and methods in application through systemsbased solutions.
