This senior-level project-based course builds upon intermediate knowledge of graphic communications processes. Students determine and implement an appropriate efficient process to produce quality student-created graphic communications products from concept, design and prepress through printing and finishing. Projects may include the Grad Brochure, Colloquium and other event materials, products for student competitions or events. Students will be evaluated on their ability to effectively and successfully manage and complete projects, adhere to deadlines, and demonstrate attention to detail and end use considerations. Print projects may include a non-print graphic communication element. Students complete a written comprehensive process analysis, including recommendations for optimization.
