This course introduces you to communication design histories and theories and how these connect with intersectional themes and identities.
You will explore how communication design history has been informed by a variety of practices, movements, cultures, and social contexts. Through analysing dominant narratives of design history and uncovering marginalised voices, you will develop a critical awareness of how design movements were influences by and embodied their political, social, cultural, and economic contexts.
You will develop skills in descriptive and reflective writing, as well as investigation and analysis to understand how your own intersectional identities inform your practice as a communication designer and prepare you to challenge, question and justify your design decisions.
