Pegler; Fairchild Publications, USA,2001 COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is the third of four interior design offerings within the Display + Design Program. It is designed to address the exhibit/trade show design, and store planning needs of Visual Presentation Professionals. Related topics such as basic lighting design and an introduction to working drawings are included to expand the student s interior design knowledge base on a practical level. Much as in the preceding two interior design offerings, a great deal of emphasis is placed on visual design communication and applying the design process to solving space planning & detailing problems. Thus, each Design Project includes a research, component and emphasizes critical thinking. Recognizing that success in the design workplace often depends on teamwork, and that employers list a good team player as an invaluable job skill, this course aims to strike a balance between individual, creative design exploration, and group collaboration in problem solving. 1
