This is an 8-week project-based course to introduce students to designing and working with data. There will be a mix of code and non-coding design projects that use data as source material. We will discuss not only the technical and graphic design considerations when working with data, but also interactivity, translating data for different types of audiences, and storytelling with data. Projects will be worked on in and outside of class over the course of a few weeks each with group crits at the end of each one.
At the end of this course, you will be comfortable sketching and designing with code and data.
No prior coding experience is necessary for this course. Having some prior graphic design knowledge or training is beneficial.
This class will be limited to 12 students to allow for individual feedback and plenty of time for discussion in class.
Class time is listed as the Eastern US time zone. Please check the time in your local zone.
Registration for this class will open on January 4, 2022.
