“Demystifying Design Thinking”
Workshop and lecture with Visiting Designer Gary Rozanc

107 A Fine Arts Building

The Department of Visual Arts presents a workshop and lecture by Gary Rozanc, an assistant professor of graphic design at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and host of the Design Edu Today podcast.

Gary’s research interests lie in determining the necessary competencies required to innovate communications, products, and services in screen-based environments. Gary’s specifically interested in determining the core skill sets required of entry-level web and user experience designers. Gary’s forthcoming publication Browsers, Devices, and Fonts: A designer’s guide to fonts and how they function on the web (CRCPress, December 2018) guides design practitioners to anticipate how typographic choices in web page structures behave as live code on varying devices and screen sizes. Gary received his BA in Graphic Design from Cleveland State University and his MFA in Visual Communications from the University of Arizona.

Attendance is free.

UMBC is located about 10 minutes south of the Inner Harbor along I-95. For this event, paid visitor parking is available in Lot 9, adjacent to the Performing Arts and Humanities Building. The lecture will take place in the Recital Hall of the Fine Arts Building.
