The course focuses on creating a system of designed pieces using large amounts of content, either selfgenerated or found, in print and digital platforms, at varying levels of scale. The differences and similarities between existing and emerging platforms of delivery provide students opportunities to investigate the future direction of communication design. Datadriven methods are utilized as a means of research and communication. Projects are situated in social contexts, where student study design systems using type, sound, and images.
