This course is designed to challenge you to think about design, to create, and explore design cultures, trends, movements, and expression of personal style. Together we'll explore design, technology, business and life.
This course is about design processes and how to talk about them. Designers use stories to stir emotions and quell uncertainty, to illustrate facts and sway opinions. The process of using an app or planning a trip builds over time, supported along the way with sounds, sights, and physical feedback.
Roadblocks and obstacles can mar the experience and slow us down (dead batteries, rejected credit cards, or a senseless onslaught of pop-up windows). Each scene in these everyday dramas can be pleasurable or cumbersome, depending on how the experience has been planned and designed.
