This is an interdisciplinary honors studio/seminar class based on creative learning techniques which explores the history, nature and methods of designing information as a practice of crafting message and meaning in art and science. Designing information makes knowledge understandable and easy to use. This course will encourage visual thinking and collaborative studio methods as we explore various models of exchanging and presenting ideas.
