Post St.Joost 2005, Superfacial Kruisplein: A New Advanced Method
Teaching a method makes future designers independent of style or medium. Applying a design method ensures a design process that is controllable, interactive and suited for dealing with the utmost complexity. A method withstands the trap of purely aesthetic assessment of the product. A method implies an abstract level of design development that tilts the traditional understanding of graphic design as a manual, problem-solving discipline. Instead it introduces a much more advances notion of graphic design as an open minded, research-based, strategic approach to visual communication.
