Aims and Objectives
This course aims to consolidate existing team project skills acquired in previous studios and augment them with further individual work that extends students' abilities in terms of background research, documentation, and communication of results. In doing so, it aims to:- bridge the gap between largely team based studios and the individual project work in this the final semester;
- encourage a more rigorous approach to background research, documentation of the design process, and personal productivity;
- provide students with the opportunity to resolve a new area of work or resolve work begun in first semester.
- relate appropriate background material to the form and content of your project
- write reports for a multimedia/interaction design project
- identify, catalogue, and apply influential work in the area of the project
- report on how your project compares to existing work in the area chosen
- generate, explore, and resolve alternative design solutions for the problem context, and provide justification for decisions made based upon sound reasoning
- reflect critically on your own and others' design practice
- validate the success of your project against a set of agreed criteria
- report on work practices relevant to the project outcomes
- articulate and reflect on your design process over the course of the project
