GPRT-255: Type 4: Env Graphic Design

An introduction into the exciting world of graphic design for buildings, places and spaces. Building upon the student's understanding of typography, composition and concept from previous courses, Environmental Graphic Design introduces the added 'layers' of scale, dimensionality and narrative. Basic to the course is the assumption that nearly all graphic design fundamentals (proportion, rhythm, figure/ground, etc.) as well many of the principles of good typography and audience experience are applicable to large scale design and three-dimensional forms. The course can also be viewed as a lead in to the graphic design discipline of environmental graphics with an emphasis on the important role graphic design plays in the built environment.
