During the fall semester, design students will gain a greater understanding of the preparation necessary to transition from their undergraduate program to entry into the field of graphic design. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have designed a web portfolio and resume, have received additional information on establishing themselves professionally, and will have researched and proposed work for a small group or solo exhibition (based upon Rall Gallery schedule availability). This proposal must be submitted by mid-term of his/her penultimate semester at Doane, and will serve as a contract with the dept. that the student will complete the proposed show. Finally, students will then undergo an end of semester critique by the art/design faculty and non-dept. faculty or professionals, of work related to the proposal.
In the spring semester, students will work independently to research and develop work for the proposed gallery show, with the oversight of an advisor within each one’s area of focus. This advisor will be declared in their fall proposal. All work for the gallery show is subject to review at a designated submission date, and must be of a professional caliber to receive the approval of the department by consensus, prior to installation. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have exhibited practice-related work in the gallery as the culminating experience, meeting the specifics outlined in the proposal.
Prerequisite: GDC 260 and GDC 304 .
