Visual Design Foundations
The Visual Design Foundation course lasts one year and aims at conveying to students the basic design elements for visual communication. The basic design approach identifies a typical introductory discipline. The course is set out into assisted exercises requiring the students to complete assignments – both digital and paper format - to boost their design skills. In the bigger picture the course allows students to acquire the necessary theoretical and practical basis to give shape to communication products and start their professional career in a sounder way.
The programme will then introduce critical subjects for graphic design: space, borders, colour, sign, typeface, the opposition order vs disorder,sequence – rhythm – movement, symmetry vs asymmetry, the organization of the surface, grids and , composition, the relationship between text and shape.
The same topic will be studied in-depth thanks to frequent case studies focussing on very important projects and authors: moments in which theory and practice are combined to promote the acquisition of a critical attitude and of the genuine roots of a visual culture.
