In January, we students at NYUAD have a really interesting learning opportunity: the chance to take an intensive, single-discipline class by itself for three weeks. Some people use this to travel, others use it to get distasteful requirements out of the way, and others use it as a chance to learn something they normally wouldn’t. 

This month, I get to take my first class in something that’s interested me my whole life: graphic design. I’m studying with eleven others under the designer Goffredo Puccetti, and this blog will reflect my learning experience in that class, with quotes and original works and general thoughts on it all.
