In this program students will begin to examine and integrate connections between creative practice, cultural, scientific, critical and historical discourses as they relate and pertain to other artists, academic departments and community organizations. Throughout this process students will be exposed to a wide array of theoretical and reflective practices. Over the course of the semester the student will develop a graduate-level work ethic and lay the groundwork for intense, research-driven studio practice. Rationale: In the first semester of graduate study the student should establish a highly individual and concentrated studio practice based on adaptability, experimentation, and research. This course is designed to foster individual interests while demanding a high level of intellectual and critical development. Once an intense and flexible graduate practice is developed, the student will be better prepared to face the challenges inherent in the career of a professional artist.

In this course students will continue to examine and integrate connections between creative practice, cultural, scientific, critical and historical discourses as they relate and pertain to other artists, academic departments and community organizations. Professional practices, such as, writing proposals, creation of curriculum vitae, and development grants will be discussed. Rationale: Removing the art making and exhibition process from the traditional studio and gallery setting is a large part of today's contemporary art world. While studio and gallery settings are still perfectly valid, we want to encourage students to take steps to engage outside these arenas. This course continues the individual research begun in K510 while extending the reach into alterative venues and modes of working.

- HER-V 311 Type & Image (3 cr.) P: v220, v211
Studio course. Advanced skills development and applied research for visual communication design majors. Course builds on the skills and knowledge developed in Making Meaning and in Typography; students will use typography and imagery as modes of visual communication design.
- HER-V 320 VC 4: Facilitating Solutions (6 cr.) P: V310. Studio course. Application and integration of knowledge and skills for visual communication majors. Methods to facilitate solutions to unframed community issues. Exploring social roles of designers as researchers, reporters, and editors in collaborative teams. Integrating professional service for civic communication with reflection on personal values.
- HER-V 401 Exhibition Planning and Design I (3 cr.) V401 prepares students to synthesize existing design practice and apply it to exhibition planning and design (EPD). This process is explored through integrated theory and practice. Students learn research methods, exhibit development, design process, and other skills through hands-on exercises. Students create design documents and contribute to the EPD process.
- HER-V 402 Exhibition Planning and Design II (6 cr.) V402 builds on the basic skills and application learned in EDP I, with an emphasis on refining and developing greater interpretive capacity. Capacity is developed through exploration of relationships of visual and three-dimensional form, light, and materials. Students contextualize meaning by designing and planning relevant exhibit experiences through applied community-based projects.
- HER-V 410 VC 5: Designing for Innovation (6 cr.) P: V320 or permission of instructor. Studio course with cross-disciplinary team collaboration. Application, integration, and synthesis of knowledge and skills for visual communication majors and subject matter experts. Advanced methods for designing for innovation. Discovering and shaping opportunities for socially relevant innovations. Integrating professional service for civic communication with reflection on personal values.
- HER-V 420 VC 6: Portfolio (3 cr.) P: V410. Capstone studio course. Application, integration, synthesis, and evaluation of knowledge and skills for visual communication design majors. Utilization of tools and knowledge for managing complexity to develop professional career plans. Reflecting on personal, academic, preprofessional experiences. Analyzing and evaluating transferable skills. Developing portfolios that demonstrate depth, breadth, adaptiveness of knowledge, and critical thinking in preparation for beginning a professional career.
- HER-V 421 Designing People-Centered Services I (3 cr.)
This is the first of 2 courses which focus on design activities that examine a “totality” of service experience, using methods and approaches that consider people and customer experiences based on a holistic and people-‐centered relationship model. This course requires designers to embrace value-‐driven perspectives and to utilize an integrative approach that leverages design processes to connect all aspects. This course focuses on exploration, application and the development of skills, tools and methods for service experience design. Students will gain an understanding of how to use research methods to seek better understanding of human factors (issues of audiences and contexts), apply strategic design tools for generating and integrating solutions. Students will engage in individual and team-‐based approaches to problem solving.
- HER-V 422 Designing People-Centered Services II (6 cr.)
This is the second in a series of two courses which focus on service design. This course builds on the prerequisite course, Designing People-centered Services I. Students in this course will apply research methods to seek better understanding of human factors (issues of audiences and contexts); students will apply strategic design tools for generating and integrating solutions. Within this course these skills, tools and methods will be applied to a collaborative project situated in the real world in order to develop people-‐centered solutions.
