It suggests another communication design beyond spoken, written, and visual. Various conventional materials, such as paper, wood, fabric, plastic, and clay, can be used to enable tactile communication with fabrication methods, such as 3D printing and digital fabrication. This panel will discuss and suggest future graphic design research and educational approaches using tactile communication. As graphic- or communication designers we’ve been making creativity and the creative process the foundation of our careers — but as everyone knows these “creative juices” are pretty unpredictable. Based on my research and exploration at the intersection of art, design, yoga and meditation practices, as well as Buddhist and Vedic philosophies, this hands-on workshop focuses on the intangible nature of creativity itself.

Zack Tucker (he/him) is an Assistant Professor of Communication Design in the Department of Art, College of Creative Arts at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Tucker utilizes action research and autoethnographic methodologies to explore civic engagement in the United States. In particular, he has adopted a place-based practice around Freedom Summer 1964 and its relevance to contemporary experiences. His work tends to be transdisciplinary, collaborative, participatory, and reflective. If COVID taught us anything, it’s that we saw the all-digital future—and it sucked.
He later pursued research on topics surrounding culture, appropriation and its usage within design during his MFA in Communication Design at Pratt Institute. Channeling his international experiences he produces work that combines language, street culture with NYC texture and volume. Currently, he works at an environmental graphics firm known as GHD Partners.

Network with attendees, meet speakers, and take a breather in-between sessions.
She also works as a collaborator with the Black Liberation Lab to co-create solutions that support Black liberation. In recent years there has been increased engagement around the expansion of the graphic design canon. Design educators, researchers, practitioners, students (both graduate and undergraduate), and self-appointed design historians have been leading efforts to deconstruct, decolonize, and manifest a more inclusive history of communication design. These "new histories" seek to upend the chronological, euro-centric, Meggs-ian narrative many designers were taught in favor of non-linear, non-Western perspectives. These accountings often include untold histories from overlooked personas and places. This session will focus on sharing the myriad ways that educators are addressing pedagogical changes to design history curricula.
