Course Description
IDEA AND AIM: Design Writing and Editorship lecture is based on the idea that writing, criticising and creating content about design is actually a creative practice and this practice contains certain ethics and techniques. The lecture aims to bring skills and awareness to students in terms of analysing design writing and editorship as a profession and career opportunity as well as using this practice effectively and productively for their own projects. Today, the authentic content has an important value in the long term. Therefore, critics/writers/editors who will catch the rising values in contemporary design and analyse these values with a refined filter should be educated in design schools. The lecture is designed for ever changing creative disciplines and media. Thus, the content of the lecture is enriched with the seminars given by sector professionals.
