Respond to the questions below and define a Learning Plan based on the course learning objectives and your personal learning goals.

As a group, we will look at the formative theories of design to help us better understand how and why design works or doesn’t work within historical, cultural, and social contexts. When we look at philosophical, ethical, political, and aesthetic questions in the field of design, our ability to think creatively and critically expands.

The goal is to become curious about your role as a designer and to start to look closely at your own design practice. You will begin to see how your aesthetic influences connect to historical lineages in the field of design and why your voice is important to the future of the communication design field.
