The undergraduate curriculum in Visual Communication Design at SAIC is structured to encourage the development of both generalized and specialized activities, as well as hybrids of both. Students acquire a thorough intellectual understanding of the implications, strategies, and roles of visual messages along with the visual abilities necessary for conceptualization and creation, as well as, technical and business skills required in professional practice. Students are encouraged to actively engage their world and define their role as contributing designers by developing critical and analytical skills, a personal voice, and strong visual forms of expression and engagement. The department aims to cultivate a sense of inquiry and responsibility in student designers who will be working at the intersection of art, design and culture.

This concept explores Herbert Bayer’s 360-field-of-vision, which consists the idea of transferring the ideas of one society and time into another and continues into the next. It encourages the viewers to look deeper into themselves, to find out what the certain art pieces make them feel, to understand what exactly was in the artist’s heart and mind. Since the perception of the world is different for every person, Bayer has found a successful way in which the artists can show the viewers the world in the special and unique way we see it. This concept was visually represented with gradient and by playing with perspective. Gradient and perspective allows one dimension to convert into several dimensions, as both gives visual forms the appearance of depth or distance. This allowed me to depict volumes and spatial relationships on a flat surface. The word ‘perspective’ itself also carries the meaning of one’s mental view and its interrelationship with what they see. Due to these reasons, I have used gradient and perspective as a tool to represent Herbert Bayer’s intentions.
