Topics may include both practical and conceptual applications of data visualization, visual identity, product development, publication design, user experience, motion design, and interactive projects.

Individually defined student project developed with guidance of a committee made up of at least two full-time faculty members.

This course satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BFA-Art majors. All BFA degrees require enrollment in Art 401 and Art 402.
