Studio course introducing single and multi-page document design. Projects embody the entire process of creating a publication from concept, through compositional and typographic skills, clear use of hierarchy, and pre-press. Emphasis is placed on work-flow and project management for production of documents in print and electronic media. This course requires that students furnish a laptop computer that meets the departmental standards in terms of hardware and software (see departmental website for requirements).
