About the Course
Explorations in Digital Design is the introductory course for the New Media & Digital Design Program and aims to expose undergraduates to the program’s three thematic concentrations in the areas social informatics, digital arts, and e-commerce. The course critically explores notable histories, geographies, and practices of designing interfaces, communication, and information systems. Students gain an introduction to design paradigms, internet architecture, and the politics of designing digital media that operate at intimate, local, and global scales. Design theory and practice are bridged through readings, lectures, hands-on workshops, and developing an interactive design proposal.
Course Learning Outcomes:
– Students will demonstrate an understanding of digital design theory and practice through critical writing, group discussion, and design work;
– Students will understand common web design standards and principles as well as basic internet architecture;
– Students will develop an understanding of the logic and potential application of common web languages such as CSS, PHP, and HTML.
Instructor Qualifications:
– Instructor should be knowledgeable in both the study and practice of digital design;
– Instructor should be aware of current trends and future trajectories of the cultural, aesthetic, and commercial design of graphical user interfaces, software agents, and information systems;
– Instructor should be familiar with common web languages such as CSS, PHP, and HTML;
