This is an in-depth graphic design course focusing on explorations in page layout design, image creation, and design research.

Students will develop and follow graphic design processes, resulting in several new portfolio pieces. Topics include branding, experimental image creation, multi-page publication design, book binding, constructive critique, sustainable design, and proper planning for a graphic design project.
