Catalog Description

Capstone Studio

The capstone as the final ID studio represents the culmination of skills and knowledge the student has learned during their time in GTID. The Capstone Studio is not the usual “one size fits all” course as it offers the freedom to choose risky and experimental self-directed projects that have strong Design impact. Students create a fully developed portfolio quality Capstone project that best suits their individual goals. Capstone projects promote their design profile online.

The major Capstone project is not assigned it is driven by research. We introduce professional level research methodology and resources. We use the Trend research method which uses trend research, market research, statistics, demographics, presentations, user research, subject area experts, peer review and instructor feedback to determine the strongest Capstone project topic.
