class structure and schedule

 

Each week we will have a visitor present an overview of their work along with a project showing how they worked with a graphic designer. The presentation will be followed by a student-conducted interview and group Q&A. Mostly the visits will take place virtually via the the internet, but we may also visit one or two Los Angeles-based offices in person.

Aside from attendance your documentation provides evidence that you achieved the goals. Specifically, here's what your documentation needs to show in order for me to know that you have achieved these goals:

Your documentation shows that you also know how to tell the story of what another discipline does.
