New technologies are revolutionizing the communication environment. In parallel with the ongoing need for print communication, computing and emerging media such as social networking are appearing at every level of communication design.
The emergence of a new medium of communication has spawned innovative approaches to the ways in which information can be organized and presented to its audience, changing the role of visual information designers by forcing them to go beyond simply framing ideas into content development. As traditional boundaries between creation and production, creator and consumer, writing and design, strategy and implementation of information are blurred, information design is now seen as a holistic mechanism for the planning of complex communication systems and developing social consciousness.
The Visual Information Design graduate program at Kyung Hee University embraces this ideology through its curriculum which addresses these merging skill sets, providing a learning environment for advancement in innovative research, usercentered design, and professional practice focusing on the creative potentials of communication through a full spectrum of media.
Students in the graduate Visual Information Design program seek to contribute substantial new projects and ideas to the field of communication. They are engaging in the cultural, social, technological, and aesthetic issues that are transforming today's media and information industries. Through project-oriented activities that foster analytical competence in research, writing, design history, and image theory, the curriculum is designed to deepen process-oriented skills as applied to typographic forms/systems, image-/form-making, documentation/publication design, and digital media design.
