Designers and renowned authors Brockett Horne and Ellen Lupton lead an exploration of various ways that designers can generate content and create visual forms and structures.
In this course you will survey a range of approaches to design practice. Some sessions focus on the agency and decision-making process of the individual designer. Others discuss diverse methods for engaging users, from designing experiences and services to exploring the fundamentals of interaction design.
Each method is applied to contemporary practice with case studies, from problem solving to narrative thinking. You will explore both theory and practice by considering current ideas and debates about how to include and address diverse audiences. By the end of this course, you'll be able to apply these enriching ideas to a portfolio of designed objects, composing a collection of works that explore design methods.
