20 Units 2000 Level Course

Not available in 2014

This course introduces students to a variety of design for screen based moving and interactive media applications through a series of practical and experimental project briefs. It will cover key professional applications of design for screen based moving and interactive visual media as well as enabling opportunities for more experimental approaches to their use. It will explore the relationship between content generation and image, type and graphic interplay with particular emphasis on layout design for screen based moving and interactive media.

Objectives On completion of this course students will be able to:
1. Conceive and design a variety of screen based moving and interactive forms of visual communication;
2. Demonstrate and apply a creative understanding of the interplay between content and moving image, type and graphic elements;
3. Generate content for professional and experimental screen based moving and interactive design applications;
4. Complete design projects to production ready standards through project driven self-tuition of relevant production skills.
Content Topics will include:
1. The relationship between screen based moving and interactive design content and form;
2. Concept and content generation;
3. Layout design for screen based moving and interactive media;
4. Professional and experimental applications of screen based moving and interactive media design.
