ENGL 309, Computer Aided Publishing, Fall 2018

Bradley Dilger, Purdue University

Weatherill 212, Tue & Thu, 12:00 noon to 1:15pm

This course provides an introduction to critical elements of design thinking which involve computing: user-centered design, type design, page design, and design through testing. You’ll get practical skills, theoretical knowledge, and diverse experiences to help you engage in design projects, broadly speaking, using both traditional and electronic tools. Our introduction will include a strong practitioner emphasis, from texts to projects. We’ll explore the connections of design and ethics, design and writing, and computing and design.
