| HISTORY In 2005, a novel one-year master programme of Editorial Design started as a full-time programme in the context of the topical Utrecht Graduate School of Visual Art and Design. That context offers a creative surrounding where both design cross-overs and an international body of students act as a multiplicity of inspiration. DISCIPLINE Editorial Design is an interdisciplinary course concerned with structuring information for publication media. In general terms, Editorial Design is the craft of organizing complex assemblages of information into a meaningful and accessible multiplicity, balancing function (the interface aspect) and aesthetics (the expressive aspect). Various aspects of Editorial Design and a variety of topical editorial design problems and their solutions will be tackled in workshops and seminars. In addition, a topical theoretical discourse related to the field of editorial design will be introduced and further expanded. STUDENTS The body of students demonstrates a fascinating mixture of nationalities, backgrounds, and interests. Cross-over courses with students from other MaHKU disciplines enhance a multi-discipline-based attitude. In addition to editorial design related workshops and seminars, professional skills such as presentation of design work as well as theoretical work in peergroup meetings will be accentuated. |
