Issues in Visual Communication Practice Course
Taught by Candice Ng at the School of Art Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University
This intermediate level course empowers students to examine critical issues within visual communication practice. It encourages them to investigate contemporary and critical discussions that shape the discourse of design and its relationship to socio-political structures, and consider the responses of designers towards these issues. Through a combination of creative design projects, writings and publishing that is closely tied to the analysis, interpretation and expansion of readings, this course challenges students to critically engage with the complexity and challenges of design with the zeitgeist of our times.
In this series, you’d find an archive/collection of Design Readers which students are entrusted to curate. The brief instructs students to critically evaluate their readings in the class and all their learnings derived from the lectures, presentations, and discussion related to the discourse of design and develop a design reader as a response. They will need to identify a master text from the readings provided and expand on any thematic surrounding it to curate a series of text (minimum 4) to form this reader. The reader will require a preface and an afterword written by the students to provide contexts to the selection of text.
