In this course, students will collaborate to create a book that represents the Graduate Design class of 2025. We will explore the potential for printed publications to showcase design work, reflect on the CCA experience, and dive deeper into individual and collective practices. This class will be an open space for nurturing and communicating evolving ideas as the book develops alongside the thesis process.

Design is storytelling: arranging semantic languages to guide users through interactions that resolve into meaning - and ideally - orchestrate emotion along the way. Story is embedded in our primitive minds. All information is more relatable, persuasive, memorable, and motivating when it is packaged into a familiar story structure. By applying story structure to design – how we identify as makers, develop and present ideas, sequence processes, products, and experiences – students will learn how to leverage storytelling to attract people to their work, vision, and journey.
