This studio explores the capacity of graphic design to create an experience for an audience, whether visual, tangible, or spatial. The dialogue between designer and audience is studied for the purpose of pragmatic and appropriate design decisions. Class exercises will push initial experimentation with special consideration to human factors and sensory design tools. Two-dimensional design knowledge will be unified with three-dimensional and screen-based objects. Individual writing, design research tools and methods will further the understanding of user experience.
