ADES 2500 - Design Thinking

3 hours (2;4)

Introduces students to creative methodologies, research processes, ethnographic study, teamwork, ideational drawing for communication, iterative exploration, semiotics and branding. Students encapsulate the processes they learn in this class into a capstone visual artifact. This artifact along with projects and exercises generated in Typography I and II are evaluated by the communication design faculty to determine which students move forward into the next two courses in the communication design sequence. Participation in the conditional mid-point review is required to pass the course.
