Design-related studio practice (accompanied by a written component) or research that leads to a major design project are the two main paths to an MDes.

DAREarts EMPOWERING AT RISK CHILDREN DAREarts is arts education that empowers ‘at risk’ children. This is the best day of my life. DAREarts child, 9 DAREarts dares children to make positive choices in their lives through educational experiences in art, architecture, dance, drama, design, fashion, literature, music, – all the arts. You are saving this child from the wrong crowd. Principal DAREarts is a national, not-for-profit organization which stands for Discipline, Action and Responsibility in Education. DAREarts’ 5-year all-the-arts program empowers ‘at risk’ 9–14 year olds who have been chosen from elementary schools in less advantaged areas to become leaders. The children paint, sculpt, sing, dance, compose, design, write, act and create as they ‘travel’ through the centuries exploring world cultures, guided by arts professionals. The children gain self esteem and leadership skills and then return to their schools to teach their classmates. Since 1996, DAREarts has flourished in Ontario and is expanding across Canada, influencing over 10,000 children yearly.

It must be readable from far away and close-up, attract curiosity, be informative and communicate an idea. A poster is a large 2-dimensional surface with a fas- cinating illusion of space and perspective. Its design, depending on the content, has to comply with many factors such as the concept, an existing corporate identity, recognizability, readability originality, and of course artistic expression. But, how can a poster function under all these demands? What is design quality? What demands are put on the designer? Does the informa- tional content, on the one hand, and the medium of print, on the other hand, require a different approach to finding design solutions? How many design possibilities are there and which is the right one? How do you achieve an optimal result? Can the design process in turn have an influence on the content message? In the workshop we will analyze and question the approach- es necessary for a dynamic, contextually correct and aesthetically successful poster design.

    How Interaction Design for Ceramics Exhibition Will Help Audiences to Have a Better Experience in Museums

    How interaction design for ceramics exhibition will help audiences to have a better experience in museums. A thesis submitted to the Graduate School College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design in the School of Design of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Fei Xie July 24, 2013 B.E., Automation School, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), P. R. China, 2010 Committee: Craig M. Vogel, MID Chair Katie Parker, MFA Member Renee Seward, MGD Member Abstract The common ways of offering information and educating visitors in museums are providing audio, interpretive signs and video displays. However, non-interactive ways don’t work well at engaging audiences. Artifacts in most museums are not allowed to be touched by visitors. They are usually put into glass display cabinets for protection. This thesis focuses on identify issues of user experience design in museums and define interactive product requirements for museum exhibitions as a harmonious whole system in order to provide audiences exciting experiences during visiting. Among archaeological artifacts, ceramics play an important role in understanding a region’s culture and technology. However, for audiences from a different cultural background, it is hard to understand when there is a lack of contextual information. There are also lots of stories behind ceramics, which are worth detailed explanations. However, only a limited amount of information can be presented to audiences in the museums. For that reason, this thesis uses ceramics as an entry point and discusses how to present knowledge of exhibition subject and artifacts information to audiences by using interaction designs.

    OCAD University At-Large Faculty Senator Elections 2016 List of Candidates: Michelle Astrug (Faculty of Design) Michelle Astrug is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Design, teaching in Graphic Design. She is applying for senate because she is interested in actively participating in University governance. Claire Brunet (Faculty of Art) Claire Brunet is a sculptor and Associate Professor in Media and installation art; Sculpture/Installation program and Fabrication Studio Bronze Casting and Digital Processes at OCAD University in Toronto. In June 2014 Brunet completed a PhD degree in Fine Arts, in the Interdisciplinary Program (INDI) at Concordia University in Montreal. Her research work explores expanded spatial boundaries and the influence of a 3D digital and technological context on the artist’s creative process in sculpture practice. Brunet’s sculpture project proposes opposing temporal forces—a 3D digital and technological spatial approach as a mode of production, in opposition to a critical discourse in regard to living species and their relation to their natural environment—which stresses the opposing values of an hypermodern society (Lipovetsky 2005). Brunet has presented projects and papers at conferences in New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Greece and Canada. Her publications include: Exploring Data Space, in The Faculty of Art Newsletter (OCAD U, Toronto, 2012); “Extending Spatial Boundaries Through Sculpture Practices: Exploring Natural and 3D Technological Environments” in The International Journal of the Arts in Society (Illinois: CG Publishing, 2012); McLuhan and Extended Environment: Affect and Effect of a 3D Digital Medium on Sculpture Practice, in Y.
