Course Description

RISD CE graphic design course

The two modes of communication that a graphic designer must command are type and image, and it is only through a harmonious relationship that messages and ideas are given form and meaning. In this course, students are led through a series of exercises as they explore digital and non-digital making methods while learning to navigate this complex relationship.
