Color & Materials Design MA/MFA Program @ CCS

Y2 CMD MFA students and their instructor, Chelsea Chandler, journeyed to Kalamazoo, where they toured Newell Brands and presented their CMD Studio III concepts for their CCS x Newell Brands Sponsored Project 'The Cost of CMF: Suitability, Sustainability, and Supply Chain."

Students participated in the Biodesign x Mars Wrigley Sprint. The final outcome was "Spice Bond," an organic and responsibly sourced spice blend tile that minimizes packaging waste while creating a culturally connective and healthful experience for our consumer.

"Nowhere in the world, it seems to us, is the autumn foliage as brilliant in color as in the United States." -Josef Albers In the Color Lab class, students created color studies with fallen leaves based on Josef Albers' exercise from his book, "Interaction of Color." #cmf #cmd
