Time needed: 4–10 hours a week

This course develops your ability to notice design in everyday life, investigate how and why it works, and cultivate a reflective design practice. Through photography, sketching, documentation, and small-scale making projects, you'll build the observational skills and creative confidence essential to all design work.

You won't learn software or master typography here—in fact, this course isn’t specifically about graphic design. But you will learn to see, question, document, and reflect. This course is about asking: What makes this work? What would happen if...? How else could this be done?
