Contemporary life is full of complex messages, images, meanings, symbols, artifacts and rules. Visual design helps us understand the world around us, orients us in cities and museums, and shapes coherent and integrated visual identities, digital interfaces, and audiovisual products. The main goal of the course is to build a community united by a desire to explore and interrogate the broad field of graphic design and visual communication, transcending the traditional boundaries of the discipline and renewing its rules.
