INTERACTIVE DESIGN STUDIES I (9 SCU)

Learning Outcomes:

Students must be able to explain the basic understanding of layout design and employ proper hierarchy system in constructing various design elements and integrating other design principles. Upon which, use different kinds of grid systems and combine them with other visual elements and then identify and apply suitable screen-based design technologies. The proper media application and graphic tools are then used to construct screen-based projects, which must also be applicable to multiple devices, integrating design principles, typography. Students must be able to exhibit their work and have them contribute in critiques and discussions of their work and the work of others.

Topics:

Graphic Interactive Design II brings students to implement all their knowledge from previous semesters into grids based layouts in variety two-dimensional projects, applicable to various screen-based design projects. They will comprehend that behind a good interactive design, there are collaboration of graphic design, experience design and interface design.

Student will learn semantic, syntactic and pragmatic aspect in graphic interactive design and related aspects, as well as holistic graphic system through exercises and projects. This Course also look at a number of approaches to understanding how visual information plays a major role in thought processes and alternative ways of approaching analytical thought through visual engagement.
