Course Description

In this course you will explore collaborative design practice and application of design theory. You will collaborate with specialists to produce digital content for diverse audiences and applications. You will develop digital media projects through an iterative process from concept to full realization, within a studio framework.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

You will be assessed on your development against the following Program Learning Outcomes:

  • Acquire knowledge of visual literacy and design theory, interactive and motion design, moving image, communications technologies, and digital media production skills and their application to digitally mediated communication.
  • Demonstrate creativity, critical thinking and innovation when identifying and solving problems in diverse contexts within the discipline
  • Apply theoretical knowledge, conceptual skills and production techniques to the development of digital media solutions for communications problems.

 


Course Learning Outcomes

Upon the successful completion of this course you will be able to:

  1. Explain how creativity is embedded in the design process and how this is informed by design theory.
  2. Apply concepts and digital design techniques in composition, typography, interactivity, sound and imaging to the development of digital media content.
  3. Apply the design process (research, create, produce and evaluate) to the development of creative responses to design briefs.
  4. Create digital media solutions for different cultural contexts.
