The course will take an in-depth look at business of design, and employment as a design professional for students beginning the job search. Students will refine their résumé, cover letter, and portfolio developed in Career Planning as they identify career options through research and networking with professionals in their chosen area. Students will explore the financial and legal aspects of employment in the design business.

The second of a two-semester visualization sequence, this course further develops analog and digital visualization techniques, while expanding on graphic and three-dimensional components needed to create effective presentations and the workflows to achieve them. Assignments will also include crafting visual and verbal presentations that synthesize the concepts developed.

This course will provide an opportunity for students to develop and refine their conceptual and problem-solving abilities through illustration-driven design. Students will elevate and refine their ability to deliver ideas via illustration. Students will identify a challenge in their respective fields of study that can be overcome by their creative problem-solving abilities and illustration talents. The projects will be consistent with the work a freelance illustrator/designer would be challenged to create. At the completion of this course, students will be able to create comprehensive projects where the primary imagery is illustrative.
