Experiential Design
9 Weeks | $695 | In-class and Online


Design in the built environment, signage, display
An introduction into the exciting world of graphic design for buildings, places and spaces. Building upon the student's understanding of typography, composition and concept from previous courses, Experiential Design introduces the added 'layers' of scale, dimensionality and narrative. Integral to the course is the understanding that nearly all graphic design fundamentals (proportion, rhythm, figure/ground) and the principles of good typography and audience experience are applicable to large scale design and three-dimensional forms. The course can also be viewed as a segue into the graphic design discipline of environmental graphics, with an emphasis on the important role graphic design plays in the built environment.
