DGA* 259: Interface Design

3 Credits
Students will develop an understanding of interaction design principles and how those principles are embodied in prototypes. The first half of the course will cover the history of interaction design, universal design principles, patterns, design constraints, metaphor, affordances, aesthetics that affect interaction, visual design considerations, human-computer dialog, and time-based design. Through lecture and hands on exercises, students will be introduced to the processes, technologies, and environment of mobile applications.  Students will learn a structured approach to creating interface designs. In this course, students will gain hands-on experience in creating prototypes for software and web sites using both paper prototyping techniques and software tools. This course focuses on mobile media and interactivity. Studio course:  6 hours per week.
