sophomore studio
students will be introduced to the formal theories, concepts and visual tools that support graphic design. form studies will examine line, curve, composition, visual balance, form/counter form, rhythm, and progression. this logical foundation will promote an understanding of clear formal language, while developing design problem solving and critical thinking. a fluid formal vocabulary will be applicable in all subsequent coursework. a broad range of methods and tools [both traditional and digital] will support the student’s creative exploration with simple visual elements.
