The Designer As Author exhibit showcases work by twenty-one students in the MFA Design Department’s class of 2005. These projects underscore the goal of Designer As Author to extend beyond the traditional definitions of graphic design into the realm of concept creators and producers. Each thesis must be a commercially viable idea. The projects educate, challenge, empower, delight, and are told with passion, mission, and pleasure.
