Course content
The course gives an overview of interaction
design and its role in industrial design and product development.
The aim of the course is to give a basic insight into interaction
design through the highlighting of the possibilities for
cooperation between interaction designers and cognitive scientists.
The processes and work methods used in industrial design and
interaction design are introduced, and applied in a project that
runs throughout the course. The course aim is to give basic skills
and knowledge in interface construction from a design perspective.
Emphasis is placed on user perspectives, typography, layout and
general graphic design and also the visual expression of the
interface design. The ability to create, visualise, test and
evaluate various types of interfaces is practiced through the whole
course. Different methods for visualisation, manual as well as
computer aided, are applied in the project and a strong focus is
placed on communication of ideas and results orally, visually and
in writing.
This course is part of the Cognitive Science
programme.
If study places are available, students with previous studies in
cognitive science, industrial design or interaction design
engineering can apply for the course. Your transcripts must show at
least 1 year of studies - 60 ECTS credits.
