Catalog Description
This course focuses on the unique design practice of (1) representing and organizing information to facilitate perception and understanding (information architecture) and (2) specifying the appropriate mechanisms for accessing and manipulating task and play information (interaction design). This course also explores design patterns appropriate for the HCI professional.
Instructor Description
The first half of the course describes interaction design while the second half covers information design. Each student will keep a sketchbook and turn in sketches corresponding to exercises. No sketching experience is required. Each student will participate in a group project developing a prototype of an information artifact such as a website, app, or kiosk. The prototype is usually completed using Figma, which will be taught as part of the course. During the information design part of the course, students will be introduced to Tableau and have the opportunity to create a data visualization in Tableau.
