Recommended Optional Program Components: | None |
Course Objectives: | The aim of the course is to provide the student with theoretical and practical knowledge about the methods of obtaining conceptual content in communication channels that will be developed by using all representation languages used by these three disciplines by working together and side by side in a workshop in a way that can eliminate the scale difference in these different disciplines. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; - elimination of interdisciplinary scale differences - Increasing the ability of three different disciplines to work together - development of experiential thinking skills on content-form relations - experience on representational languages common to all three disciplines- define visual communication, - define iconography and conceptual metaphors, - demonstrate the basics of a visual construct, - design a visual entity with conceptual content. |
The content of the course consists of theoretical part and workshop studies that will make it possible to examine the theoretical infrastructure of the design activity at the conscious and unconscious level, and to understand how the designer actually establishes himself as an agent. It consists of verbal information in which the communication principles of all representation languages and conceptual construction are conveyed, and design examples in which the knowledge is applied. |
