Learning Flow
Students move from research to finished public-facing work.
RESEARCH THE AUDIENCE & CONTEXT
Students gather references, define the communication problem, and decide what the work must achieve.

Sketches become layouts, digital files, package mockups, animation tests, print proofs, or exhibition samples.
PRESENT, REVISE, & PUBLISH
Work is defended through critique, corrected for production, then prepared for portfolio, exhibition, or public service.
