Through a major community-based project this course explores at an advanced level the intersections between design, contemporary media and information technology practices. Through this course students will engage with internal/external clients and develop a concept brief relating to a major interactive media-based project, gaining key employment skills and experiences . The course explores design research and practice within social and economic contexts; including the ethical, cultural, and environmental impacts of design decisions, intellectual property considerations, and aspects of appropriate professional conduct. The course will focus on tools and skill sets that are particularly important for succeeding in a design project, including planning, teamwork, project management, and design reporting. Visual communication continues to be a vibrant and rapidly growing field of design. New design opportunities and career pathways continue to emerge and an understanding of future industry directions – and to actively engage and adapt to these – is essential in forging a long-term career. This course provides students with the opportunity to explore emerging areas of digital interactive communication through practice-based research, creative focus and through providing a dynamic community of learning.
