This course teaches graphic design students how to sketch graphic design concepts quickly using effective and dynamic visual shorthand (Rapid Viz) for communication with clients and other graphic designers. The student will learn how to handle the basics of form, composition, perspective, light, shadows and shading using rapid indication of elements in a design with hands-on tools. The emphasis is on creating basic thumbnails and rough sketches using professional development protocols and industry recognized materials.

Assignments:
Untitled document
1. Three rough comprehensives of multi-sided objects indicating three different perspectives.
2. Three rough comprehensives of object/scenes with shadow and shading indicated.
3. Three rough comprehensives of object/scenes with indicating reflections and reflective surfaces.
4. Indicate color in three roughs (choose one from each of previous three assignments.)
5. Redraw three rough comprehensives using rapid indication to add detail, background and visual interest (choose one from each previous three assignments.)
6. Use Rapid Viz techniques to rough out compositions for illustrations to be used in designs in upcoming Graphic Design classes (details to be submitted by instructors teaching those classes.)
7. Repeating students will be graded with higher levels of expected mastery.
Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.
Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing. | Writing 0 - 0% |
None | |
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course. |
|
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills. | Problem Solving 20 - 50% |
Drawing shapes; Drawing in Perspective; Drawing shadows and shading; Drawing reflections and reflective surfaces | |
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams. | Skill Demonstrations 45 - 65% |
Drawing multi-sided objects from different perspectives; 3 comps with shadow and shading; # comps with reflections and reflective surfaces; 3 comps in color; 3 comps using rapid viz techniques | |
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams. | Exams 0 - 0% |
None | |
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories. | Other Category 0 - 15% |
