| Module Description: |
This module introduces students to media design. This module is aimed at graphic design students so that they can create designs and implement concepts into motion/interactive solutions. This module gives students the opportunity to explore and challenge graphic design in motion in areas such as digital signage/advertising and interactive information design. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Design an interactive solution through the use of visual and technical research methodologies. |
| LO2 |
Create a range of ideas with respect to an interactive solution |
| LO3 |
Use the design process to create the iterative stages of the development of an interactive solution. |
| LO4 |
Implement and present an interactive solution through exploration. |
