Design Applications

Design Applications guides students in applying the knowledge and skills gained in Foundations of Design. Students will gain valuable experience in using storyboards to formulate the visual representation of design concepts. The design phase will then evolve into designing a wireframe and low-fidelity prototype using industry-standard visual design tools. Prototype designs will focus on visual composition, interactivity, and usability. Key user-centered design principles will be applied in balance, thematic consistency, visual aesthetics, and ethical considerations. This course provides a hands-on application to the visual and functional design process, producing industry artifacts for students' professional portfolios.
