GD265 Bookbinding I 3 credits
This course is focused around the book as structure, object and information. In the first half of the semester, students create models of basic binding structures (focusing mostly on the codex structure) — one model per week. Homework and projects during this time involve creating content filled books based on the structure leaned during the week. These books/homework projects serve as not only practice in binding, but also as “sketches” of production of ideas that could be expanded on or refined in the projects later in the semester. Structures covered include link stitch, long stitch, Coptic, Japanese style and case bindings, as well as other structures for one and multiple signatures; different approaches to the “cover” are also addressed. Throughout, use and choice of materials, adhesives and tools are emphasized. Students provide content, which for those who have taken Elements 1 may be produced through letterpress printing. In the second half, students work on the individual projects based on structures learned up to that point. Field trip to working print shops and binderies.
Prerequisites: Drawing I, 2-D Design and LTT Elective; or Permission of Instructor
Fulfills: Graphic Design Elective (Graphic Design students); Studio Elective

Students build upon the skills and concepts from Web Authoring I to develop a suite of websites that involve more extensive projects and time management, research and code development. Greater emphasis on economy of coding, resourcefulness (about generating one’s own code), and validation of websites to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Specifications. In conjunction with design projects, coursework includes in class presentations and demonstrations made by students, along with in-depth individual and group critiques.
Prerequisites: Web Authoring I

The course addresses: further experience with setting text-weight type; practical work with polymer plates, including their production and ordering; editioning; multi-color and multi-pass printing; and use of type as a visual element (type, rules and sorts as ornament and pattern). The course is enriched by examination of examples and by field trips.
Prerequisites: Letterpress Printing I

GD405 Senior Design Seminar 6 credits
Students work on self-defined, typically communication-oriented, projects over the course of one and in rare cases two semesters. They work with the instructor to clarify objectives, develop or assemble content, and design and produce a body of work that demonstrates facility with appropriate tools and techniques, high craft values, awareness of relevant contexts, and evidence of aesthetic judgment. Students meet as a group to discuss their work with peers, the course instructor and professional guests. The studio emphasis of the course is underpinned by one-on-one and group crits and discussion; panel review sessions involving other design instructors and guest critics; and a public exhibition of completed work. It may be complemented by assigned readings, seminar presentations and discussions, and writing exercises. The discussion component emphasizes contemporary design and communication practice in the print and digital realms, and in various professional and public contexts. Course may be repeated once for credit. Graphic Design concentrators will ordinarily have completed most if not all of their other studio requirements prior to taking Design Seminar. They have the option of taking two studio courses in lieu of a second semester of Seminar. Concentrators in Book Arts and other areas for which Design Seminar is a capstone option are expected to declare their intention to enter Design Seminar at the time they declare their concentration. Book Arts concentrators will ordinarily have completed most if not all of their other studio requirements prior to taking Design Seminar. Design Seminar may be taken as a studio elective by any student who applies and is accepted on the basis of her or his proposal, and evidence of a mature body of work.
