Description
In this subject, students explore diverse theoretical approaches that shape present-day practices in visual communication design. The subject encompasses a range of perspectives, such as community-led design (design justice), designing with Indigenous knowledges and cultures (decolonising design), data feminism, inclusive design, multi-species design, technology-driven design (AI), and transition design. Students investigate the origins of these approaches and evaluate their impact on current practices through case studies and targeted research tasks. By completing these tasks, students gain valuable insights into best practices and play an active role in fostering the development of fair, inclusive, and equitable societies through the perspective of visual communication design.
