Basic Principles of Design
For me personally, this is a flashback to childhood memories; on a grand scale, it is an origin of design education system.
The Foundation Program at the School of Design in Basel, Swit zerland is a fundamental education in art and design. It offers a number of interrelated, equally important courses. Subjects include exercises in form, aesthetics, and concepts, all of which are designed to promote optical and tactical sensitivity, formal perception, manual dexterity, and a clear understanding of creative processes and to clarity the students individual talents. The program enables them to choose future professional training in graphic design, photography, typography, display design, goldsmithery, pottery, fine art, sculpture, and other related fields.
