Students are expected to complete assigned readings and projects. This is based on a strong emphasis of formal design values and their utilization for the communication of ideas and information. The project is reviewed by the faculty mentor, and modifications may be made based on consultation with the student. The project may be thought of as a senior thesis project. Students interpret and develop concepts for the author's text and point of view for each assigned editorial article.
Content includes the relationship and use of typography, imagery and layout for editorial impact.
Students work with the Editorial Photo class on assigned projects to experience the working relationship between the photographer and the designer, particularly in regard to editorial design. Through various community service agencies and in cooperation with the United Way Internship Program, students create design projects requiring skill and the ability to develop concepts through production, with emphasis on message content in relation to its audience. With guidance from the instructor, and by closely working with the organizations, students understand and experience client-designer relationships, budget limitations, and time and project management.
