The surface design certificate helps designers develop and build on skills needed in contemporary design education and design professions--the importance of studio practice, the ability to work in creative teams, conceptual thinking, and the creative integration of digital and non-digital skills. Design, craft, and aesthetic theory is integrated into the studio courses. Students embrace traditional methods and are encouraged to explore innovative approaches to surface design. The purpose of promoting non-digital methods is not merely to encourage excellence in craft and hand skills, but to emphasize a seamless link between technological advances and traditional skills and materials, and also to emphasize the role of evolving design production technologies in the creative process.
