“As designers, we need to understand the impact that images have and the ways we can manipulate and present them to achieve our goals. We need to understand the kinds of information that images can convey, the way people look at images, and the impact our choices have on viewers.”
— Alan Robins

Dear Students,

Welcome to GDII!

With a fundamental understanding of typography from GD1, this course will focus on image making, visual thinking and the design process. Through practical and experimental projects supported by reading assignments and research, you will develop conceptual skills, verbal articulation as well as an understanding of communicative and aesthetic relationships in visual problem solving. This will allow you to refine an awareness of images, their denotative and connotative meanings, classification and style.
