I’m two weeks away from turning in my Netherlands proposal, and have been turned down by two faculty members. I was beginning to worry, but Emily Naff of Nashville State has jumped in with a photography course and energized me with her enthusiasm. Emily will teach digital photography, and will inspire students with strong work on her own site as well as on Flickr. Above is one of Emily’s shots of a Buddhist temple in Korea. If you’re interested in shooting photos in one of the most beautiful places on earth, be sure and sign up for Emily’s class.
Initially I planned to teach Typography, but after some thought and discussion with CGT coordinator David Gilbert, I’ve decided to teach a course I love: History of Graphic Design. I taught this course until a couple of years ago when it was “replaced” by MDT 1000. The course focuses on styles, designers, and the big ideas of the past in graphic design. We’ll be using Philip Meggs’ definitive textbook, and I’ll be throwing in lots of extra Dutch references.
