Exploring Graphic Design in Three Dimensions

The Introduction to Graphic Design class explored the work of the iconic graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister.  Sagmeister has blurred the line between fine art and graphic art, creating a body of work that serves a deeper cause outside of marketing and consumerism.  The students responded to his work by creating word sculptures focused on conveying an inspiring and somewhat humanitarian message.  The students were encouraged to draw connections from their message to the materials used, the typography and the place they chose to install their sculpture at Black River.
