This class is a 12-week introduction to design theory and design practice, with a focus on human-centered design. The course will have an emphasis on digital design but concepts of physical design will also be covered. The course meets weekly for two hours for discussions, guest speakers, activities developing fundamental design skills, and project “crit” sessions. This class will provide its students with a fun and comprehensive look into all facets of design, experience working on design projects, and potential portfolio pieces.

No previous design experience required, however it is imperative that students have an open mind, a willingness to get out of their comfort zone, and a sense of humor.

You must come to the first day of class on Thursday, February 1st to enroll. We hope to accommodate everyone who shows up on the first day, but will lottery enroll students if we exceed the cap on the first day. The class will be held every Thursday from 6:30 - 8:30PM in 310 Jacobs Hall.
