how to order a zine from the print center.

watch and discuss: “strategy by design: how design thinking builds opportunities by tim brown”

how is your process schedule holding up to the reality of the project? what do we need to add / subtract / change?

small group crits over work in progress:

  • is there a concise, one-sentence definition of graphic design? what would make it better?

  • is there a structure or outline for adding detail? what would make it better?

  • what types of visual and textual devices are you using to communicate about what graphic design is? what is available and how do they function?

  • is there a definition of “design thinking”?

  • are multiple visual directions presented? what would make them better?

we will do rolling crits in the studio, in the following groups, for about 20 minutes each:

noah, lynnsie, ricardo, ava

hannah-rae, husnain, ki, anna

shane, cordell, halee

shelby, gillian, jacob
