This course is designed to develop visual communication skills and strategies to inspire environmental awareness and advocacy. The course extends beyond two-dimensional graphic design to include critical approaches to the practice of environmental design, film and visual art. With a focus on strategic messaging and technical skills, students will learn design principles, image making and filmmaking to bridge environmental issues through diverse media texts. Students will pick one topic, which will be used throughout the course as a primary theme and applied to various media and art projects. Each media project will use the tools of visual communication to engage the public and foster positive environmental, social, political, and ethical change. Formerly offered as EHM 325; not for credit in addition to EHM 325.
