Topic outline

  • The course offers students a hands-on experience, working in small teams on a real design project. A client is involved throughout the project, from briefing to interim critique and the final presentation. Students handle project planning, conduct background research, and engage in iterative design phases with support through lectures and feedback.

    After completing the course students are able to:
    - plan and carry out a visual communication design project
    - understand the principles of managing a project and working as a team
    - differentiate different phases of the design process
    - explain the means and value of conducting background research 
    - collect information on user needs and requirements 
    - develop a design solution iteratively 
    - understand principles of testing and evaluating design 
    - justify design solutions and communicate and present professionally

    The compulsory LC-1117 Integrated Oral and Written Skills is running parallel with this one on Mondays and Wednesdays. The course enhances professional communication and presentation skills. The teams formed in the Experiment: Process course persist in this English class, collaboratively completing assignments.
