Studio course introducing concepts, applications, and projects in page composition, document design, and color pre-press. Text processing, typesetting, image capture, color correction, page layout, and pagination. Emphasis is placed on workflow and project management for production of documents in print and electronic media. Prerequisite: Art 120.
In this course we will be studying and exploring design methods and methodologies.
We define design methods as:
1. a procedure, technique or planned way of doing something.
2. order or system in doing anything: to work with method.
3. orderly or systematic arrangement, or sequence

We will be working with design methods during this term. The core theme is MAPPING. Mapping is a method whereby, we can study a system through documentation and analysizing relationships. We are able to give meaning to these “studied” relationships by visually translating one form of knowledge to another.
It is through mapping that we will explore and define the following principles:
1. Narrative or “storytelling”
2. Meaning
3. Visual Structures
A methodology is defined as:
1. a set or system of methods and rules used in a given discipline
2. an arrangement of something according to a given method.
We will be exploring visual strategies to create individual design methodologies. The core strategies are:
1. repetition= timing and pacing
2. Scale
3. Voice = type treatment
4. Type and image relationships
Publication Presentation
We will be making publications in this class with Adobe InDesign as our layout tool. We will be learning how to hand build our publication projects with blades, claps, glue and paper.
FYI: You are required to make your own photographic images for the publications in this course.
