To build upon the theory and practice acquired in INFT 1014 and further understand the principles and elements of design and interactive games.

Course content

Students will further develop an understanding of the principles and elements of design, with a particular emphasis on how these principles can be applied effectively in an interactive multimedia publication. Students will develop problem solving skills, learn how to draft design specifications and create an interactive game using advanced skills. The final project provides students with the latitude to apply their own creative flair to the production of a game based on a specified theme.
