This course offers an introduction to the core principles of communication design while fostering a contemporary and cross-disciplinary understanding of the field. Aimed at first-year students, it covers fundamental design concepts such as composition, form, color, typography, and layout, with a focus on developing both visual literacy and creative thinking.

Reimagining conventional approaches to Design Thinking, students are encouraged to move beyond established frameworks and experiment with alternative, speculative, and collaborative design practices. Through a mix of input sessions, group discussions, and hands-on exercises, this course emphasizes design as a process of radical curiosity and critical making across disciplines, where students are invited to explore how they can address diverse issues in fresh and imaginative ways.
