Course Description

This studio course will focus on the development of storytelling strategies for creative solutions in the field of Design. Through an exploration of time-based techniques, digital fabrication and/or expanded capture techniques, we will cultivate different ways to relate with our surrounding world by exploring narrative perspectives for our creative work. Through guided prompts and independent-led projects, students will experiment with narrative possibilites to understand design as a field that inspire action, stimulate curi- osities, and offer new perspectives to engage with different audiences. In this class, we will understand Design not only as a discipline that solve problems in a rational manner but also that transform meaning and shape viewership through play and emotion. In this course we will use Adobe Suite (Adobe) and will delve into the basics of digital fabrication, mockup creation, and other technologies that students may explore for their personal projects.
