Visual Lab 0

(2 Credits)

"Visual Lab 0 is a fundamentals course that introduces incoming MFA Game Design students to the basics of visual design and communication. Following in the tradition of Code Lab 0, which plays a similar role with game programming, Visual Lab 0 helps students gain basic understanding and skills required for the visual aspects of game creation. The course is meant to be taken alongside Game Design 1, and Game Studio 1, and in a sense serves as a visual design tutorial for these classes. However, there will also be lessons and exercises that exist independently and focus on students learning concepts that might not immediately apply to their concurrent work in other classes."
