GD 3105 - User Prototyping


Credits: 3
Course Type: Studio

This is a foundational design course that establishes a set of best practices allowing the student to approach digital media through a user-centered lens. Students research and explore a variety of pre-visualization methods that are inherent in the online digital environment, merging new tools like user interface, interactivity, visual sequencing, and storytelling into their final projects. Upon successful completion of this course, students will gain a thorough understanding of paper prototyping, user testing, and pre-visualization methods for on-screen environments creating a user-centered design foundation for digital media.

Prerequisites: GD 2210 - Vector Illustration  and GD 2220 - Raster Image Processing
