An analysis of graphic design techniques will form the basis for an investigation of 2D interaction. In particular, how information is structured to convey relationships, priority and emotion. Development of a framework with which to consider emotive and aesthetic attributes of an interactive system. To complement this approach 3D design will be studied from the perspective of how we interact with the physical world. In particular, the relationship of design and how it is experienced with and through the body and the consequent comprehension of buildings, landscapes and spaces. Throughout the module these approaches will be referenced to the design of interactive technologies.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Appraise the design of interactive technologies in terms of their desirability and their fitness for everyday life and culture.

LO2: Identify and critically appraise engagement with designed artefacts and formulate how such engagement might be transferred to the design of interactive technologies.

LO3: Discuss the role of the body in design interaction and the synthesis between 3D tangible space and 2D image.
