About the course
What is a sign and what do they do?
How do signs change the way we perceive a space?
What is the most powerful sign you can remember, and why?
Determine a place/thing/situation within the UC campus where you feel a sign could help. Design a (temporary) sign, or signs. The sign must be designed for use somewhere on campus, so consider your target audience, who will use/see your sign(s). Fabricate your sign and document it in use.
Experience a real Visual Communication Design practice which will involve the following steps:
- understanding and analysing a project brief,
- inspecting the area where the project will be implemented,
- identifying problems,
- understanding the target audience,
- ideation research,
- prototyping possible design solutions,
- receiving and implementing feedback,
- refining the final solution,
- implement your project to its actual space on UC campus.
You will:
- Create a physical sign to be displayed on UC Campus.
- Develop a sense for designing and communicating in three-dimensional space.
- Learn about engaging your audience.
- Create out in the public realm, learning to push beyond your comfort level, and have a good time doing it.
