| Abstract | In the past decade, many design educators have recognized the need to change the way they teach design. Yet, most graphic design courses still tend to focus on developing visual and technical skills of design students. How and what should design educators teach design students so that students become effective communicators in the age of information? This paper presents a case study based on my experience of developing and teaching the course, Topics in Information Design and Rhetoric, at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design. I first discuss the four themes in information design that were at the core of my course. Second, I share some of students’ assignments that demonstrated that they could apply rhetorical analysis to each of the information design artifacts. Last, I conclude by providing some reflections and implications why courses like this are central to design education today and in the future. |
