DESN 315 F001: 4D Core Design Studio IV

This design studio allows for varying degrees of concentration synthesizing 2D, 3D and 4D Design studies. Community – based and collaborative projects enable students to identify appropriate and preferred design practices, and synthesize these design approached within screen, video, product, digital media, interaction, and environmental contexts. Core design skills from previous semesters are the basis for innovative and creative risk – taking that embraces the design process and expands terrain between disciplines including: design research, marketing, ethnographic considerations; conceptual and creative skills; participatory design, cognitive and usability factors; writing for proposals and reports; oral presentations and visualization. Some of the project work is collaborative, including the possibility of working with non-Design majors, developing students’ multidisciplinary, team working and project management skills.
