Not Exactly What I Had In Mind, So I Created My Own
-An Inquiry Into A Perfect Graphic Design Course

Drawing from existing design education publications, theories, examples of design education programmes, and the voices of design educators, this project attempts to restore the reality of design education in the contemporary context in a satirical way for graphic design students, while offering new approaches to design education.

The publication serve as a reader using republishing text from graphic design educators. While the republishing text could be read with the review to help audiences to understand the key ideas conveyed in the text. After stating the issues from the text, the publication provides a speculative solution with a “perfect graphic design course” in a ironic way.
