Academics : Graduate Graphic Design

Untitled: Variations in Design Practice


Description:  Otis MFA in Graphic Design hosts an international two-day symposium, “Untitled: Variations in Design Practice.” This symposium will set in motion a bi-annual event that welcomes the design and art community to Otis to engage in the everyday experience of a graduate student. By nature an advanced degree program challenges that which already exists, and seeks to find new meaning and new forms to the problems set before us. Through lectures, exhibitions, and dialogue with like-minded people the symposium will rejuvenate those in their practice seeking inspiration as well as establish connections on an international level between practitioners and students committed to shaping the future of graphic design.
