The evolution of graphic design from prehistory, through postmodernism and the digital revolution through a global perspective. Through lectures, written assignments, and participatory workshops, students will develop a historical awareness of the breadth of design and how it operates within unique cultural systems, as well as its relationship to technological, political, economic, and social systems. Students will learn conceptual skills and divergent ways of thinking, as well as new ways of making that will inform their future projects and give them confidence to critically think and talk about graphic design. By the end of this course students will better understand design as a cultural practice that perpetuates ways of thinking, this history of the profession they pursue, technological affordances, and the significance of style, power, and voice.
