This unit focuses on design methodology for the development and delivery of contemporary interactive media applications. Particular concepts addressed will also include conceptual integration and convergence of various media forms, screen design, navigational hierarchy and structures, and designing engaging interactive interfaces. General principles of interface, interaction design and information architecture will be introduced, alongside basic principles of digital media production.

This unit focuses on interactive design from an experience design perspective. Approaches utilising current digital technologies for advanced interactive design are explored. Students will design and produce interactive products and examine and critique current content and trends within these technologies. The focus of the unit is communication and experience design, rather than technical implementation. Interactive design examples are examined from the context of shifting production languages, convergent technologies and the design professional contexts.
