USING TIME EFFECTIVELY: DESIGNING FOR DEADLINES
The module will explore the core processes used to create engaging and delightful user experiences. Students will develop solutions to several problems, while working within a set of design constraints.
The module will build on concepts related to identifying and understanding what people need from the products we design, and how best to effectively communicate those needs through effective organisation and design principles.
Students will implement a “user experience toolkit” including concepts related to problem framing, product requirements, information architecture, user flows, wireframes, prototyping and user testing. By the end of the module, students will have created deliverables for five design exercises using the techniques described above.
