3 Studio Graphic Design 1 ECTS credits: 16 Course unit code: M3ERA9050 Coordinator: Johan Vandebosch Period: Autumn The Graphic Design program involves experiment, research and dialogue. The projects are illuminated from various perspectives and debate is not avoided. Through fictional and concrete practical assignments, contemporary graphic designing is continually exercised. The final goal is to offer the student a route by which he/she can develop his/her qualities to the fullest in order to be able to meet the multiple needs of a future professional practice that includes research. The type of education we opt for is 'assignment driven instruction' (also called project driven instruction) and 'problem driven instruction' in which independent study is important. The instructors function as fictional clients and evaluate the students continually according to established criteria. Graphic Design The instructors, Geoffrey Brussato, Dr. Tom Lambeens, Johan Vandebosch and Dr. Ann Bessemans, all have feeling for the practice as they also have a job as an independent graphic designer, as a freelancer for agencies or are active in the research community. In addition to the instructors, the fellow-students are important for consultation and feedback. By means of group discussions, teamwork and cross-over projects, an interesting cross-fertilization occurs. 2 Bachelor years in Graphic Design & evaluation of portfolio of personal creative realisations
