Media Design Studio is an advanced media design portfolio course that combines seminar/critique and studio work. For seminar/critique, we will read about and discuss design strategy, history, and evaluate peer work. The ultimate goal of the course is for students to produce a portfolio of designed artifacts. Previously designed and printed pieces or work for other classes may not be submitted for credit but can be included in the final portfolio. At least one significant project must be completed during the course. This is an intense course with advanced students working on different media design and interactive design problems. A basic understanding of technology, applications, and design theory is expected. Class sessions will be utilized for demos, instructor/peer critiques, reading discussion and for solving technical production problems.
