Content

In this unit, we will explore the fundamental design practices, and techniques of user experience design. Emergent technologies have a profound impact on practices of reading and consuming all digital media and this unit will introduce UX for software, and digital applications to leverage emergent technologies, consumer electronics and/or mobile devices. This will be negotiated through usability study testing, communication design, content strategy, research, and practical exercises. This unit is geared towards developing the cornerstones of production for design strategies and processes that capitalise on new developments for students who desire an understanding of UX. This includes digital project management practices, usability, collaborative tools, content strategy, wire framing, prototyping and visual design comps.
