This elective studio focuses on the continuation and elaboration of digital and hand graphics presented in the first year of our curriculum. We will continue to develop fluency in hand graphics and design perspectives, color and presentation rendering techniques, desktop publishing, computer graphics, and Web authoring. The course focuses on the development of the following useful end products: (1) Personal portfolios describing each student's abilities in design, planning, graphics, computer literacy, and production oriented tasks; and (2) Personal Web page portfolios containing the aforementioned data. Graduate students only - two 500 word case studies discussing aspects of exceptional offices and their method of practice; verbally presented to entire class in web-based format, (This work will be evaluated as 20 points out of a possible 120 points for graduate students). Graduate-level requirements include development of an additional case study research on a variety of design and planning offices and evaluate each across a number of criterion: location, project types, inner-structure (how good ideas are generated, identified and developed), the office's record of excellence in project design and delivery. These case studies will build off of previous research by Dana Cuff and Marv Adelson at UCLA regarding \"excellence in practice\".
