JANUARY 16, 2013 WELCOME TO DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS! Also know as DESIGN SPECS, or SPECS. Wednesday 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. 601 Newbury Street Room 340 WHAT ARE WE ALL DOING HERE? Well, most of us took this class because one, it is required for design majors, two to learn about the specifications of printing, which is a crucial skill in creating nice print pieces.
WHAT IS GOING ON? We don’t know! This class’ curriculum has been revamped so we can learn the specifications of the many mediums in which we will be working as designers of the ever changing technological age. So the administration threw Matt White into the mix of designers so he can educate us on his web expertise while John Kramer sticks around to show us that print is not a dying art. So as they sit and ramble, we will sit here, interested, unorganized, confused and intrigued. Ready for structure and ready for action, ready to make it happen.
WHAT’S NEXT? After much anticipation they hand out the ballots and based on our interest, they divide us into groups who will each explore the design specifications of each of medium listed below: GRAPHIC IDENTITY LARGE FORMAT LETTERPRESS MICROSITES MOBILE APPS OFFSET PRINTING SCREEN PRINTING TIME BASED
Through our research we also explore the lovely design assholes who keep our life aggravating and exciting.
