    Description
    Design Studio I offers career-minded design and digital media students a design studio experience with real clients, deadlines, and roles. Clients include non-profit organizations, the local business community, and other entities needing design work. Projects include graphic design, Web design, and possibly video production and animation. Through client interviews, small group brainstorming, lecture, and demonstration, students will develop a portfolio of real-world design work. Students will learn to write a client proposal, to interview a client, to experience the client-designer relationship, to set pricing for projects, and to present design work to a team and client. Formerly known as GCOM 490.
