Course objectives
Bachelor and Master’s degree course is a continuation of PV083 Graphic Design II and PV067 Typography II. The aim of this course is to create interactive content for digital devices using visual communication, animation, illustration, and information graphics, as well as exploring new technologies and fabrication methods. In the process, students will obtain knowledge of various publication and digital prototyping platforms and software. Students are expected to a pro-active approach to solving new technological procedures and familiarize themselves with different user-centered design methods.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive skill set in digital design and fabrication. They will be proficient in various areas, including experimenting with materials, combining digital and physical design, and using thorough research effectively. Students will successfully create artefacts, design packaging, and incorporate digital technology into their skills. They will also relate their creations to historical and cultural contexts.
Syllabus
  • This course delves into digital design and fabrication, emphasizing authorial design principles. Spanning several thematic modules, students explore material interactions, digital-physical fusion, design research, conceptualization, authorial design's impact, wearable artefacts, augmented reality integration, and historical contexts. Through workshops and critiques, students develop skills in personalized design, creating innovative digital-physical artefacts.
Teaching methods
Working in a studio setting: receiving an assignment, consulting with instructors, actively working on the assignment using graphics software, and ultimately completing the assignment. Throughout this process, students are encouraged to seek guidance from teachers and incorporate their feedback. The completion of each project involves a final presentation of the student‘s work.
Assessment methods
Project-based learning assessment is a comprehensive approach that evaluates students through hands-on projects mirroring real-world situations. Assessment in this course emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. Assessment criteria encompass understanding, research quality, innovation, and effective communication. Instructors offer ongoing feedback, and students present their projects, showcasing both final outcomes and the learning process.
