Course Content
To develop new graphics problem definitions and produce different graphics solutions for creating visual identity of an institution, service, product, activity and others
Objectives of the Course
The methods of finding creative ideas, being creative in graphics and graphics design in experimental design course is searched. It tries to develop the skill of stating themselves thinking as a designer, research, understanding and defining communication problems, finding ideas related to the solution and stating the ideas with visual methods. It examines the relationships between text, view, location, movement, sound and interaction which are the elements of visual communication design discipline. By the way of short projects completed in one day, quick thinking, finding quick solutions and ideas in Professional life are realized to transformation of visualization in a short time. Draft making techniques which will state visual ideas are thought in quick developed projects. Experimental design course projects are based on examination of the concepts more than the subjects based on product and service which we met frequently in our Professional life.
