A design lab that conveys information clearly and connects people with one another.

AboutAbout the lab
Giving messages a form that gets through, and connecting people.
The Communication Design Lab studies design that gives messages carried by media an effective and appealing form, and establishes a dialogue between those messages and people.
Its subjects are public information such as news reporting and guidance, corporate design such as advertising and public relations, and interface design.
For each of these, the lab studies expression techniques, planning methods, and evaluation methods.
Associate Professor Jang, who leads the lab, works on communication design that connects people, including branding, sign design, and character illustration.
