Design for Multimedia and Web

Course aim

To further develop students’ understanding and experience of conceptualising, designing and testing the functionality of websites using industry standard authoring software.

Course content

Students will develop design concepts for website interfaces of varying complexity and for diverse audiences. They will devise all content - written and visual - applying advanced typographic principles, understanding of hierarchies and web authoring techniques to specific design problems. They will also test a site's usability - navigation and function - and conduct evaluation and revision. Students will be made aware of copyright issues in relation to the web medium and will use industry standard authoring software for web design on a Macintosh platform.
