Comedy
Students will examine the principles of comedy and their consistency from ancient times to the present day, then apply them to the writing of an original play or screenplay.
Editing and Publishing
In this course students will work closely with the editors of Carnegie Mellon University Press to learn many of the facets of producing books. These range from business management and marketing to the elements of editing, book design, and production.
Messages and Means: Topics in Communication Design
In this seminar, we will examine communication design from multiple perspectives, including rhetoric, information design, cognitive psychology, philosophy, and design theory. We will read and discuss the significant works that have influenced modern communication design, paying close attention to their impact on today’s communication practitioners as well as outstanding opportunities for further research. In addition, we will explore these ideas through small case studies from a variety of contexts–from data visualization to advertising, to product brochures, to public relations to political campaigns.
The rest is required.
