Senior Thesis is the culmination of a graphic design student's course of study. Each semester, Thesis faculty choose a word to catalyze the students' projects. Thesis students respond to the word through a largely self-directed project in a medium of their choosing. The course's goals are to expand the way students think about the language of graphic design, to bring conceptual depth and richness to their work, and to provoke a personal attitude about graphic design through emphasis on cultural and aesthetic values. This course should be viewed as an opportunity to explore new possibilities and directions for developing visual imagery, and as such will be somewhat experimental.
