GDC 460 - Advanced Professional Practices I (2)

Prerequisites: GDC 260 and GDC 304 .

Students will take this course in their final 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 received 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.
