“This course will introduce the fundamental concepts, methods, and practices of interaction design. It will familiarize its students with the processes of interface development, the role of design leadership in that process, and the technical aspects of creating an effective interaction experience. Students will work both individually and in teams to explore the UI development process and communicate their ideas in through narrative media. Due to the complexity and length of the process, finished interfaces will not be produced. Instead, students will participate in focused exercises that will orient them to the process, and the resources they will need to further pursue UI design.
User Interface Design is offered in-studio format. Students will participate in group discussions, critiques, and presentations.”
