The Senior Studio course is one of two Visual Communication courses that the BFA student will take during their final semester(s) at Kansas State University. The excerpts taken from AIGA and NASAD documents explain concepts and design approaches that are the foundation of the course.

The course also emphasizes Eco-friendly and Socially-Culturally aware design solutions.

Students are encouraged to take Senior Studio for two consecutive semesters.

"Graphic Design is the profession that plans and executes the design of visual communication according to the needs of audiences and in the context for which communication is intended." (American Institute of Graphic Design)

"Graphic designers apply what they have learned about physical, cognitive, social, and cultural human factors to communication planning and the creation of appropriate form that interprets, informs, instructs, and persuades. Graphic designers use various technologies as means for creating visual form and as an environment through which communication takes place. Graphic designers plan, analyze, create, and evaluate visual solutions to communication problems. Their work ranges from the development of strategies to solve large-scale communications problems, to the design of effective communication products, such as publications, computer programs, packaging, exhibits, and signage." (National Association of Schools of Art and Design )
