Description:
Writing is in integral part of contemporary design practice. Designers reflect on, deepen, and sell their work with their writing. Design critics guide us through the world of contemporary design, speaking up for design and designers with appreciation and understanding. Particular focus in this class is writing about graphic design, interaction design, product design and the places where they meet, overlap, or intersect. Readings will cover the widest possible range of styles and approaches from academic writing to journalism, blogs, the popular press, and personal modes of expression. Through their own writing, students will explore contemporary modes of writing about design.
