What will I learn?

Overview

Slightly controversial and built with designers concerned with both great products and social impact in mind, Forbidden Design seizes the unique times we find ourselves in where products and innovations that were once deemed forbidden or even illegal are now major factors in the marketplace and spectrum of the human experience. Students will conduct industry climate analyses, social impact assessments, map the problem space, build projection based prototypes, design meaningful forums, and apply personal reflections to how they exist in their professional fields. Students will engage in tangible design education partnered with dives into the responsibility of design within the quagmires of politics + culture.
