This course introduces you to histories and theories of graphic design. You will explore how graphic design has been informed by a variety of movements, cultures, and social contexts. You will develop skills in descriptive and reflective writing, as well as investigation and analysis. By examining dominant narratives of design history and uncovering marginalised voices, you will develop a critical awareness of the role of design in society, which will inform your practice and prepare you to both interrogate and justify your design decision.
