Prerequisite(s): CDES 3215 with a C- or better, or permission of department

Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): CDES 3222 with a C- or better, or permission of department

Description: Students in this course explore how communication design is enriched via the employment of sensory experiences. Through the multidimensional relationships among typography, photographic sequencing, and originally generated sound, students are introduced to shared elements of auditory and visual composition: theme, rhythm, harmony (including consonance and dissonance), texture, dynamics, color, and form. Exploration focuses on interpretive visualizations that include experimental interactive studies referred to as sonigraphics. Studies in abstract typography, grid systems, photographic sequencing, and sound experiments challenge students to arrive at associative and interactive solutions. Students work individually and in teams to synthesize and exhibit their understanding of the conceptual and structural relationships between visual and sonic media. They demonstrate the capacity to design engaging and compelling solutions as applied to real-world scenarios.
