Graduate Thesis Collection
Collection of theses from 2010 and later
This database houses the graduate thesis work completed at all SCAD locations from fall 2010 forward. It is keyword searchable and includes both written and visual components, giving the user a broader understanding of both product (digitized studio work) and its underlying concept (the written thesis). The goal of the database is to provide both aspiring MFA candidates timely models of what a graduate thesis should address, and the larger public a sense of the richness of graduate work done at SCAD. Questions regarding this database should be directed to the Visual Resources Center library@scad.edu.

The graphic design industry is efficiently connected through platforms in new media. This connectivity perpetuates a dense community of sharing, critique and discourse that actively defines the contemporary graphic design zeitgeist. With the connectivity that the internet provides, discussions have become seemingly democratic, giving all participants a voice. However, new network systems that facilitate inequality have begun to grow in popularity. These networks decrease the democracy that the internet was built upon, reducing the voice of the graphic design community to a select few. By engaging with graphic design discourse on-line, the field can move from monologue to dialogue as it evolves in practice.

Quite often, built environments are created without the consideration of those who inhabit the space, thereby leaving cultural identity and a sense of place unable to form. Meaning, context, and narrative are discounted and the inhabitants are left without a positive relationship to the space and continue to be subjected to an overall negative experience, resulting in an avoidance of the built environment and an escape into the digital. This phenomenon of “placelessness” presents a unique opportunity to visual communicators to transform a lackluster space into a thriving place fit for a specific community.

Due to a series of social changes, classic Chinese/Taiwanese poetry underwent a rise and fall in Taiwan. At present, classic Chinese/Taiwanese literature and poetry however, are at risk. The remaining classic poetry practitioners are dying out, and the younger generation has lost familiarity and identification with classic poetry. How to pass on the rich cultural legacy is an urgent issue for future generations of Taiwanese people.

This thesis outlines an approach to residential building composition that in the hands of a talented designer can be used to create an architecture of high order. It is a non linear approach that enables the physical manifestation of human intuitive creativity, channeled through a principle centred intellectual construct.

Information technologies such as the World Wide Web have contributed to a “cut and paste” culture that is redefining the notion of originality and authorship within the creative/design communities. The terms are less absolute, as the lines between influence, appropriation, parody, pastiche and plagiarism are becoming increasingly less clear. Though these technologies are advancing the field of graphic design by facilitating a global cross-pollination of ideas and techniques, it is their complicity in copyright infringement that is quietly undermining these advancements, threatening the integrity of the profession.
