In this course, we will work on impression management, a core skill in graphic design. We will mobilize our physicality and senses to challenge communication design, mainly using letters as a motif.
The class format is "workshop + small lecture", aiming to acquire not "knowledge" but "wisdom". The workshop will focus on production and review of works. There will be a lot of work done outside of class. There will also be a review of each other's works by the students (we are considering how to respond to COVID-19). In this way, we will repeat the process of "thinking, creating, seeing, and noticing", and aim to develop the ability to objectively perceive information transmission and manipulate the impressions conveyed.
In addition, we welcome the use of "analog methods" in our work. (This often results in powerful expressions, discoveries, and effects.)
