Introduction
In our current communication landscape - where graphic design plays a large role in the organisation and transformation of messages - there are many opportunities for reassessing and experimenting with communicating through visual languages. The Graphic Design department is entering this context through offering instruction in core subjects that we consider to be valuable to a graphic design practice: editing, image, typography and theory, including specialist courses in drawing, web design, type design, writing, movement, and more. We are approaching this learning process through both analogue and digital techniques and conceptually and playfully.
Teaching in the department happens mostly through assignments. For these, our students are expected to analyse and address a question or issue and adopt a position towards it, while also exploring form in order to organise and communicate their ideas. Students are encouraged to practice widely and critically, and are challenged to reflect on what it means to communicate through their work.
