COURSE NAME
Design Systems
 DESN 405-01
Kansas City Art Institute

COURSE DESCRIPTION
 In this course, students will develop a broad overview of complex design problems from practical and theoretical perspectives. Course content will focus on larger scale communications programs involving identity and branding systems in several media, including print, web, environmental signage, exhibitions and/or packaging. The projects stimulate inquiry from the student’s unique personal interests and allow exploration of various concept development strategies. Scheduled meetings include lectures, presentations, demonstrations, and discussions of contemporary design work. Participants should make full use of their individual (and our collective) time and effort and should consider the course and all its activities as a collective set of parts with which to build insight.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
 — Understand the elements that comprise a brand creation
— Develop a cohesive and comprehensive brand identity cross-media
— Develop the skill to manage a complex project with multiple elements
— Develop visual communication strategies that address and respect the diverse social and cultural differences of audiences
— Develop writing and presenting skills that successfully explain and defend ideas
