Experiments: Digital Media Workshop
January 2020
This exhibition showcases student work from the Digital Media Design Workshop course. Students in this class are exploring potential pathways toward their senior project. Experimentation, innovation and creativity are at the heart of the course as students seek out design solutions to unique challenges based upon their research and personal discoveries.
Global Sustainable Design
August 2019 – September 2019
This exhibition contains works from students from the 2019 Global Sustainable Design course study abroad. Students traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark; Malmo, Sweden; and London, U.K. to experience firsthand practical approaches to sustainable design. The students were asked to explore current practices in sustainable design and then create works that could translate to the U.S. culturally. The focus is on challenging and changing existing attitudes, products, spaces, communications and communities as a positive step toward a greener, more ecologically balanced future.
Visual Language: The Nature of Typography & Literature
August 2018 – September 2018
In this collaborative experience, typographers in Sasha Minsky’s “Principles of Typography” course responded to Haikus and Sentences developed by the student authors of Jesse Millner’s “Introduction to Nature Writing” course. These Haikus, inspired by nature, provided a starting point for emerging typographers to develop installation typography in the forms of digital media, mixed media, and experiential installations involving light and shadow. Individuals will have the opportunity to experience this innovative ecosystem, which emerged from this unique cross-collaboration.
Visual Language: Typography and Creative Writing
August 2017 – September 2017
When typography, the design and creation of type, is applied to literary texts, this collaboration can result in a hybrid form of art that provides incredible visuals and summons intellectually stimulating experiences for both the artists and their audiences. This exhibition features the work of the Special Topics Advanced Typography course instructed by Sasha Minsky in collaboration with Jesse Millner’s Narrative Techniques creative writing class. Students from both courses worked together to bring literary narratives alive through the use of innovative typography techniques.
S.T.D. (Students That Design)
April 2016
This was a pop-up juried design exhibition open to all design students. On April 16th 2016, the one-night exhibition opened to the FGCU community. Works in the show ranged from print based to campaigns, interactive and video game projects. Students from all levels from sophomores to seniors submitted work for the show.
Design: Love
April 2014 – May 2014
This exhibition was a showcase of work from members of the newly formed FGCU Design Club. ‘Design:Love’ is a platform for all levels of student-produced design from introduction to advanced. Design club students come from a variety of majors at FGCU and this show reflects the cross-disciplinary nature and mission of the club. Works in this show originate from projects created from within the Digital Media Design curriculum, as well as projects produced for professional clients and experimental design works.
Design is very much about communication and connection, the design club and the students who participate in it are dedicated to sharing conversations and content related to design and creating viable solutions to everyday problems through a variety of mediums.
DMD Workshop Fall 2014 Pop Up Show
April 2014 – May 2014
The final body of work was the culmination of the semester. Students presented a project proposal to the instructor which was then discussed and approved. Focus of the project was on the audience and the appropriate presentation of the work for a pop-up one day show in the arts complex at FGCU. The final piece(s) had to have a solid conceptual and aesthetic framework and be presented cohesively to an audience.
