Student Work

Design and Social Change

I wanted the students to not only grab people's attention, but to make viewers feel like one person really can make a difference.

This course highlights the ways in which design can both effect change and adapt to change.  Students incorporate context, system thinking, and consideration of potential consequences into their design process.  They design posters showing how an individual can reduce environmental harm by changing a single behavior.  They also find inventive ways to reuse something that would normally be thrown away.
