LAYOUTS AND ORGANISING INFORMATION: CREATING FOUNDATION FOR 
YOUR DESIGN

We will look into all aspects of designing layouts for interactive experiences. Layouts and grids are a designer’s basic tools for creating a space of any kind. We will explore all the variables of the layout—typographical elements, illustrations, graphics, photographs, interactive elements and user experience; and various ways in which all the elements are to be combined and how they all come together in one unified experience. During this course we will learn how to ideate, create and design layouts for large scale interactive systems as well as for very specific, small and niche projects, understand visual weights, content structure and composition.

Over this course, students will explore the relationship between designing layout and organising information. In a series of hands-on, studio-based, group exercises, students will gain exposure to critical parts of the design process while learning specific methods for development grids and layouts. The course will culminate in a final project that incorporates major principles of organising information.
