Include Typed Project Description:
In this project we will focus on the typographic abstraction and representation of a ‘living space.‘ The aim is to examine, analyse and represent the qualities of a specific social space through a typographic composition. By experimenting with new forms and relations in typography, you are expected to transform an experienced and shared space in to
visual form.
In this context, abstraction is an important keyword. Our project does not involve ‘drawing by letters‘; but arranging typographic forms in accord with design principles so that the finished composition will create the ’feeling‘ of the selected social space. The project requires you to transform a social space in to typographic abstraction. The function of the area, people‘s behaviour, its sound, directions, movement, history, architectural structure, color, simply all features that create the atmosphere of your selected social space, can be used as key words for departure.
In this project, you have to come up with your own materials. Instead using dummy text, please refer to your subject. You can use your notes, previously written material, comments, dialogues, signs as your material.
Include Course Description:COURSE DESCRIPTION:
GRA 302 is a studio course that deals with complex design subjects from within a creative perspective. This course promotes a design process that necessitates ’Problem definition’ , ‘research‘, concept development‘, ‘effective visualization‘ and ’presentation of ideas‘. It tries to provide a space for students to develop their skills in design thinking and form giving; and encourages them to make their personal voice audible.
In order to pursuit the objectives of this course, it is necessary for students to perform the following issues:
* to be able to make research and in depth analysis of the subject matter.
* to develop their ability to analyse design problems and find inspiring ‘entry points’
in them.
* to understand the relationship between form and meaning.
* to explore visual forms that offers clarity, understanding and appeal to the intended audience.
* to improve their skills and confidence in typography and to challenge the ways they can make creative use of type.
* to improve their visual language to a more sophisticated level and to develop their personal voice.
* to develop their ability to work with full range of various media (illustration, photography, collage, computer)
* to be able to present and discuss a design solution with a profound explanation concerning the governing design philosophy.
