Earlier this year, Langara College announced that they would be offering a course in tattoo design in the Display+Design program.

The course, DDSN 1100, is titled Design Explorations: from Typography to Tattoos and it looks to have been a real success this term.  The class is full with a wait list and is being offered again in the January.  The class is open to all students and carries 3 credits transferable to SFU.

Instructor Sherry Hancock describes the course this way, “I felt there was a keen interest in a variety of design areas that impact on our everyday lives.  And so we are investigating how design is altered by culture, technology and environmental issues.”  She is exploring varying topics such as Typography design, cultural tattoo designs, and Advertising Icons.

You can find more about this course from the Display+Design Department at Langara College.
