PUB 638: Design Awareness in Publishing Processes and Products
Design has played and continues to play a central role in the history and current publishing practices, institutions, and products.
All designers share 鈥渄esign thinking,鈥� a way of seeing or perceiving the world, a commitment to forethought, and its role in planning human communication and meaning-making. None of the design disciplines refers in its entirety of interest and practice to publishing, yet publishing, in its social role as a cultural and information facilitator has an interest in all of them, as well as in the effective application of design thinking to publishing as a field of endeavour and inquiry.
This course provides publishing students with a survey of skills and knowledge grounding design thinking, interrelations between design and the making of knowledge and meaning, teamwork by and in design, and some well-worn principles focusing design constraints and opportunities, problems and solutions.
