Illustrator Project - Designing for a client. Students were split into 3 groups and assigned a client to design a pitch. One student from each group was awarded the job after the pitch. The students also played the roles of the clients. The three groups include designing utility covers for a city, logos for a sidewalk pavement company, and watershed signage for an environmental non-profit.
PhotoShop Project - Creating a photography series of composited images. Themes varied but often include our digital landscape, spectulative futures, and multiple realities.
Processing Project - Creative Coding. The students learned a Java-based coding language and created programs that included visuals, sound, and interactivity. They were encouraged to be creative about how their classmates would interact with their programs.
