Design Speak is a research-based project that you will work on throughout the semester. As your design education is building, moving toward a professional career, you need to continue your efforts to increase your knowledge about the graphic design industry and develop your skills of professional communication. For this project, you will interview (Q&A) a designer and utilize the interview as content in a four page magazine-style layout (two 2-page spreads) as well as a webpage layout.

Your grasp of current trends and expectations of designers in the field will help in your knowledge when it comes time to explore job opportunities and understanding the environment in which to work.
