This thesis book highlights the development students experiences as designers in our program as well as broadened their understanding of what it means to be a designer in the world at large. Design is the vehicle used to present their interests, research, and overall findings. Students defined the complex intersection between personal voice, conceptual ideas and the use of research that works to create a compelling, finely crafted public communication on the theme, Spark. Students created original artwork that integrated type and imagery into a cohesive narrative.
