Graduate students apply for RISD graphic book art
"Design is the most primitive and main language and method for people to communicate," said the director of Rhode Island Graphic Design! No matter the requirements of standardization or the preparation process of graphic design works collection, top art colleges have their own characteristics and tendencies. Today, let's talk about the art of studying abroad books in Rhode Island graphic design with teacher Xiong, who trained in the Natural Light Works Collection.
The first sentence on the graduate page of graphic design on the official website of Rhode Island School of Arts gives us very accurate information: Our project focuses on the research of language system, which emphasizes social content, multi media exploration, and visual aesthetic exploration.
RISD’s graduate program in Graphic Design prepares students for professional practice by emphasizing the roles of social context, media and aesthetics in the production of visible language systems.
Graduate Exhibition of Graphic Design in Rhode Island
That is to say, the graduate major in graphic design in Rhode Island is a highly experimental major. He emphasizes that students must pay attention to social content, solve social problems (visual communication) with the eyes of designers, and encourage students to explore with different media, not limited to ordinary visual expression.
Of course, graphic design has very high aesthetic requirements, so this requires students to have strong basic skills in format design, color perception and other aspects.
The second sentence on the official website of Rhode Island: "the program environments a nimble and intelligent response to constant change and burgeoning technology,"
This shows that: They encourage students to respond to the slow visual process of graphic design and rapid scientific and technological development in an agile and intelligent way. In Rhode Island, the students they recruited are pioneers in the graphic design industry. They are not satisfied with the current graphic design language, and dare to use new technology to create new visual communication language. It sounds like a revolutionary declaration 。
The professor of book art in Rhode Island once said:
"In your study, you should be ready to question the tools, software and theories used in modern or historical graphic design. Show theoretical knowledge and design concepts in visual form. This proves that you will become a person with critical thinking, and effectively participate in the graphic design studio to complete personal or joint research projects. Have the ability to plan their own and others' exhibitions, as well as the ability to write, publish and curate exhibitions. "
From their official website to professors, we can learn that Rhode Island is an art school with high academic requirements. Under the professional aesthetic requirements, it also needs theoretical reserves of academic knowledge, logical thinking, etc.
Rhode Island Graphic Design Book Design
Redefinition of Book Art in Rhode Island:
After roughly understanding that Rhode Island is a teaching style based on theoretical basis and assisted by experimental exploration. Let's talk about how the books in the graduate course of graphic design carry out visual theory and research experiments. It is not difficult to find that they have two projects about books when browsing the curriculum of graduate students in Rhode Island. They are Booklab and Concrete Book.
In Booklab's curriculum, we first proposed "What is a book in the 21st century? What could it be?"? "What is a book in the 21st century? Such an issue immediately gives you the feeling of overlooking everything from the height of art and culture.
Then, as a century observer, we are living in a period of major transition, a massive shift from the page to the screen.Our relationship to books,both as objects and as texts,is changing.But the purported death of the book provides an opportunity for formal,typographic,and conceptual innovation-pushing the boundaries of both print and digital forms.”
Under such a high degree of topic selection, students are encouraged to conduct experimental and exploratory thinking, and then tell students "Booklab is an experimental studio demonstrating the present and future of the book as site, as subject, and as form."?
How does art become interactive design? What can books do? In this course, students will explore the form of book design, as well as books and reading environment, including bookshelves, libraries, screens, etc.
Another book course, CONCRETE BOOKS, aims to study various forms and potentials of book design "as an interactive time/space medium for a kind of hyper experience where in the 'reader' is both co pilot and co author to unfold a negative of ideas from what is seen, touched, head, performed and read." Of course, all kinds of theories, semiotics, agitation, philosophy, and concepts in art have been created as related topics.
"When I was a graduate student, I spent a whole year studying the possibility of books. I also admired that Rhode Island put the art of books as an inspiring subject of graphic design into the MFA curriculum. It can be seen that the graphic design ability, research ability and theoretical foundation of students who can go to Rhode Island are quite solid. Otherwise, we cannot shuttle back and forth between theory and practice. " Teacher Xiong said.
Suitable for:
High school students applying for undergraduate courses:
The works during the course can be regarded as the works of the school applying. Different from domestic art universities, which focus on painting skills, foreign art universities pay more attention to ideas, creativity and hands-on ability. To apply for foreign undergraduate works collection, you need to prepare works in various media.
Undergraduate students:
It does not limit students' professional direction, that is to say, the same theme can be achieved by graphic design, painting and other methods, and students are encouraged to exchange and cooperate across disciplines to complete their works. (It can help students who apply for graduate students in graphic design, book art, pure art, cultural relic restoration, publishing, illustration to enrich the content of their works collection and improve their professionalism)
