Design

Creative projects in Design at The University of Texas at Dallas explore the fundamentals of working with the visual language including “The Elements of Design” (Line, Space, Shape and Form/Volume, Texture, Motion, Value, Color); “The Principles of Design” (Unity and Variety, Balance, Rhythm and Emphasis, Proportion and Scale); as well as the progressive investigation of more advanced problem solving such as: analytical thinking, critical discourse and personal vision.
