Interfacing Culture: Designing for Mobile, Web and Public Media

1 Course Unit

This course introduces students to advanced interface design topics. We’ll examine digital interfaces in relation to contemporary media technologies such as mobile applications, websites, and new technology. Structured as a studio class, students will work to understand the impact interface design decisions have on people and society at varying scales. At the end of this course, students will have a basic working knowledge of equity-centered, trauma-informed, and accessible design practices to carry out research and present strategic concepts utilizing social and/or speculative design. Through theory and practice, students will cultivate skills to carry forward as critical design thinkers, makers, and leaders. Spring 1 Course Unit
