This study describes the framework of a brief developed for level 7 of a Bachelor of Graphic Design majoring in Communication Design and the design outcomes developed during an academic semester in Aotearoa. The brief employed the Design Studio approach to integrating social, technical and cognitive dimensions of knowledge construction. We explored the potential of Social Design to engage students in real-world problem and design outcomes to improve local and global contexts and facing problems that are complex and with long-term effects. The study seats in the post-positivist paradigm, and privileges the pluralism between quantitative data, and the qualitative perspectives of historical, comparative, philosophical, and phenomenological analysis. It contributes to discussions about the design studio approach in Design Education and methodologies for the development of tertiary-level curricula.

<p>In visual communication design education, teachers strive to help students understand how to generate ideas in whatever form of graphics they are trying to create. This paper focuses on how we apply the concept of synesthesia in a visual composition, specifically in the form of a page layout comprising both text and images. This research is done in a class of second-year students majoring in graphic design in a visual communication design bachelor program. Students are given an assignment to create a multi-column layout and incorporate the synesthesia concept in their design. The result is quite interesting, with some artworks showing what can be considered as universal synesthetic experience for the viewers. The artworks are then evaluated and considered for future classroom exercises.</p>

The purpose of this study is to examine the graphic design concept perceptions of university students who take graphic design education by using metaphors. The research was carried out with 160 students from the Department of Graphic Design at Inonu University, Hacı Bayram Veli University and Necmettin Erbakan University. A total of 142 students (87 female and 55 male) were considered to be surveyed. The students were asked a personal information form and an open-ended question via a questionnaire prepared by qualitative research method. The analysis of the survey data was evaluated by the content analysis method from qualitative research techniques. According to the analysis, the participants created 96 metaphors. The most repeated metaphors for graphic design are; Dreaming (7), Universe (6) and Freedom (6).The common characteristics of these metaphors produced by the participants were collected in eight sub-categories which are Effort /Labor dependent structure, Unlimited structure, Useful structure that facilitates, Multi-dimensional structure, Target-oriented structure, Changeable structure, Holistic structure, Uniform structure.According to the result obtained in the study, there are different perceptions of the graphic design based on gender and grades.

To encompass the multitude of activities currently attached to graphic design, scholars, practitioners, and other stakeholders have proposed a range of names in recent times. Owing to the expansion of the role and multiple proposed and prevalent nomenclatures in education and industry, some confusion and identity crisis exists. This study investigates and traces the journey of graphic design, how its roles and functions have evolved with time, and the challenge of assigning a universally acceptable nomenclature encompassing all that graphic design stands for now. Data has been collected from both primary and secondary sources to get a sense of the situation. The secondary sources helped understand the breadth of the problem, views of scholars, practitioners, and the education world. Primary sources helped establish the inconsistencies of nomenclature in graphic design education, mirroring the situation of graphic design’s expanded functions in the profession. Primary information has been collected from the design institutes’ official websites in India, government documents, and reports to understand prevalent names of similar study programmes. The paper calls for shared and renewed efforts by design associations, scholars, practitioners, and educationists to access the profession’s past, present, and future trajectory towards strengthening and reinforcing its identity
