51-132 Introduction to Photographic Design


Units:9.0
Department:Design
Prerequisites:51-101
Related URLs:http://www.cmu.edu/cfa/design/

Introduction to photography for designers through slidemaking. Using color slide film, students learn how to extend their ?seeing? with the camera, both in the world and in a shooting studio. Through shooting assignments in the world we will see how photography is another means of image-making for designers who need to know how to read photographs as well as how to make them. In the shooting studio, students will learn basic documentation skills and how to make slide portfolios of their two-dimensional and three-dimensional work. In addition to making photographs, we will look at different kinds of existing photographic imagery, e.g. documentary, advertising, scientific, fine art-to gain an overview of the medium and learn how photographs effectively communicate information. Shooting assignments in and out of the studio, critiques, and library research. Required for all design majors; lab fee; 35mm camera necessary.
