Project Description

Project Description

Thinking Through Design This is Graphic Design is an exciting new educational program that delivers an understanding and awareness of graphic design to high school students. Through our workshop and custom-made workshop kits, we present graphic design as problem solving, storytelling, and critical thinking. Students learn the process and aesthetics of design, and its potential as a future career choice. Supplemental workshops and workshop kits are offered to teachers and students for a fee.
