SCAD Secession 2016

SCAD Secession SCAD Secession

COVER Chufeng Zhang, M.A. graphic design, Beijing, China

LET’S TALK SECESSION As designers, we have the unique opportunity to break free from conventions and explore new ideas, techniques and media possibilities. Throughout this exploration, we mold into expert design chameleons, ready to face all opportunities and challenges that come our way. Every chameleon approaches design differently in process, form and technique; yet, each is successful in his or her own distinct design outcome.

The 2016 Secession logo embraces the flexibility and infinite possibilities we have as designers by taking on a dynamic form. The top panel of the logo constantly changes to accommodate for all types of media, whether it be print, digital, timebased or any other form. In addition, the top panel moves slightly away from the rest of the panels, representing a breakaway from conventions and our own breakaway from SCAD as we enter the professional design world.

This year’s Secession celebrates the constantly evolving design discipline and the limitless opportunities we possess as designers. By remaining open to all possibilities, we can continue to develop distinct and successful outcomes throughout the complete scope of our design careers. From the very start, the projects our students undertake are based on real-world assignments, and SCAD graduates find employment in all areas of the communication arts — as illustrators, designers, art directors, and highly adaptable and technically literate team players.

The emergence of computer automated tasks, dynamically accumulated data and the resulting artificial intelligence that drives many decisions in business and social constructs has brought with it a need for a more human approach to interactions. With that, the emerging role of the designer as partner in the highest levels of leadership is no surprise.

Design is a truly human process; it’s curiosity, intuition and empathy all working together to put the user at the center of a solution. The ability to adapt to changing needs, apply your own idiosyncrasies and invest in the people you are designing for is critical for a new designer, and in the past four years, you’ve learned to do just that.

This year’s senior and graduate student work brings with it the constantly changing roles one must take throughout the process of design and the results are astounding. Complex and immersive, the media solutions in these pages are driven by user needs and informed through a process that did not always include an algorithm or recipe to a clear path or the next step. As designers you must use learned methods and combine them with your own curiosity and intuition to make your way. In the years to come you will apply what you learned at SCAD to your career and continue to design your own journey. We are proud of your accomplishments and look forward to your success. In the words of Spanish poet Antonio Machado, “Searcher, there is no road. You make the road by walking.”
