GRAPHIC DESIGN

We seem to miss a large percent of what happens around us (some suggestions put the figure as high as 80%). Even when engaged in the simplest of activities we pay so little attention to what is right before us that we are in effect sleepwalkers in our own lives.  What are the implications for graphic designers? How do you ensure that your work isn't missed?

One of the keys to success on this course is not just the projects but also the conversation around the work that you and the other students will do. This will take place through your blog. You are expected to be regularly blogging your reflections on everything we do and create in class. This is an important requirement for the course and time will be set-aside during class for this purpose. Blogging is a weekly assignment It will be graded once a week. There are three elements to this and the assignment will be marked out of 9: A reflection on something you have experienced or understood from class.  (5 pts) A relevant connection to something you've seen outside of class. (2 pts) A relevant photo taken by you and not from the internet. (2 pts) The blog will be worth 30% of your final grade.
