GRDE 2202 - Graphic Design Studio II

Prerequisites: GRDE 2201, GRDE 2213. This course will define how graphic design shapes communication. The course will introduce three aspects of graphic design, semantics, the search for the meaning of whatever is to be designed; syntactics, the discipline that controls the visual grammar in the articulation of a language; and pragmatics, how an audience will react. Students will demonstrate their understanding of these principles both in theory and practice through the development of posters, graphic identities, and manuals. 3 credits.
