What is Design?

DESIGN
To design means to plan. Almost everything we come in contact with has been designed by someone. The people that design these things used a surprisingly similar process.

COMPOSITION
The products of design are compositions- arrangements of the visual elements. They are as varied as the objects you see around you. This class will specialize in the design and composition of two-dimensional artwork. Much of the class will be spent investigating the design principles, the organizational tools used in the process. You will also learn the design elements, the visual building blocks of design.
