In this course, students will learn the tools involved in designing for digital and interactive media. Students will focus on technical skills from the design of professional graphics for digital uses to the creation of high-fidelity clickable prototypes for mobile and web applications. Beyond these technical skills, students will also learn the basic stages and tasks involved in digital or interaction design projects and will practice using cloud-based tools to collaborate and manage projects digitally. The course will finish with a comprehensive project where students use their technical skills to communicate not only design aesthetics but also motion, interaction, and user flow.
