GSMD 500: Grad Design Studio I

This studio focuses on the tangible processes necessary to discuss, explore and synthesize design. Readings and content from complementary classes will be brought into the studio, diagrammed, illuminated and analyzed through intensive sketching and visualization activities. Students will explore metaphoric and narrative methods such as video prototyping, scenarios and storyboarding, to investigate events and ideas. Critiques will focus on the student's effectiveness in visualizing or embodying insights developed out of their research as well as on their effectiveness in communicating to diverse audiences via the tools, methods and mediums of their investigation.
