Graphic Design As Projection, Bret Hansen
Graphic Design As Projection, Bret Hansen
Theses and Dissertations
I imagined a world where designing is projecting and where the entire design field is called projection. My research into what it means to be a projector culminates in a participatory creative project that embodies concepts of projection taken from a range of disparate subjects.
Understanding Design, Joshua Reese
Understanding Design, Joshua Reese
Theses and Dissertations
Somewhere along the way, I found that graphic design in professional practice was becoming synonymous with form and style, and losing its connection with concept and audience. I’m trying to find a way back.
Memory Created, Maria Fabrizio
Memory Created, Maria Fabrizio
Theses and Dissertations
Memory is like afternoon light penetrating the windows of a fast moving car. The light coming through the trees creates images, reveals objects and faces, and introduces fluctuating sensations of warmth and coolness. Sometimes these images appear in logical sequences and at other times they are fleeting, surreal, and ambiguous. While memories are often presented linearly as fact, in actuality our stories only grasp at the truth. They are fragmented, imagined, and rearranged. By examining the intersection of reality and imagination in memories we see retelling as an act of creativity.
Geologic Typography, Eric Karnes
Geologic Typography, Eric Karnes
Theses and Dissertations
In this project, I explore how the processes and structures of non-design disciplines can influence typographic form. Using the field of geology as a test case, I apply geologic processes to typographic form in order to create dimensional structures that speak to a wide audience.
Visualizing Cultural Impermanence Through Entropic Design, Clifford Meena Khalili
Visualizing Cultural Impermanence Through Entropic Design, Clifford Meena Khalili
Theses and Dissertations
Entropy is a process of gradual decline as a system loses the strength to maintain itself. It begins with disorder and results in complete transformation. As a multi-cultural American, it has been my experience that the maintenance of my Iranian heritage parallels this concept. A method of visual communication that incorporates entropy is able to express notions of impermanence, disorder and transformation. This project is focused on employing entropy in the process of design and image making by using the transformation of my cultural identity as primary content.

Typography: From Internal Conflict To External Content, Ernest F. Bernhardi Iii
Theses and Dissertations
This body of work represents a celebration and pursuit of realizing an alternative language, one capable of expressing internal conflict through process and response to external typographic form and content.
