English for Designers

This course is an English course with an arty flavour. We'll read things, watch things, discuss things and be very creative in our process! You can expect to design book covers, logos, visualise and recreate characters and environments, and many more creative activities! We'll look at films/graphic novels with a clear artistic direction and maybe even try our hand at recreating some of these. Think English, but in the arty-est way possible!

This class will begin like an English class, starting with the in depth study of a novella. This will involve elaborate discussions about concepts that we stumble upon in our reading, and lots of arty/creative activities related to the story, and our discussions. These discussions will be supplemented with cool stuff like videos/podcasts/articles and other stories/poetry that might help our understanding. 

You'll be expected to discuss things with us, and share your thoughts on what we cover and students that do this will be the ones that get the most out of this course. (Oh no, talking! But just let it happen, because it's not that bad, and you'll be all the richer for it!)

There will be a strict no devices rule in this class, unless specifically required, so please make sure you'll be able to manage yourself with this in mind.
