this course is a course in document design. we will be talking about, pulling apart, and making documents. we will proceed zoölogically, looking at one little beast after another until we can figure out what they do, how they do it, and why they bother. but our motives are not benign. our motives are frankensteinian. once we have some primitive knowledge about a beastie, we will try to stitch one together ourselves and charge it up. half the classes will be discussions (pulling apart), half
will be workshops (stitching together). |
