This course is supplemental to PRD 321 Product Design Studio III and introduces principles and methodologies of user interface and interaction design as critical elements of user experience design. Students will create interaction diagrams and develop prototypes for products and/or services. Students will learn and apply principles of visual communication, typography and motion design to create visually appealing, intuitive and feedback-based user interfaces. Students will learn how to conduct a range of usability tests to evaluate and improve interface designs. Projects from PRD 321 and other studio courses within the College of Design will serve as case studies for analysis and application of course content. This course is part of a sequence of courses that advances in complexity over 5 semesters, and it is the second of two parts focusing on user interface and user experience design. As part of this course, students may participate in field trips to sites, businesses, manufacturers, etc. to further their knowledge of the design profession and coursework, sometimes with corresponding entry fees.
