Design isn’t restricted to platforms and media — all your decisions make up the structure of a larger house of meaning. This semester we’ll be extending our understanding of how the way we think about moving through space applies to the digital realm. We’ll use this understanding of digital interactivity to create worlds, communicate ideas, and work iteratively. Project 1: Non-linear Space (Weeks 1 – 5) Design and build a website that presents multiple texts in a non-linear reading experience. Identify meaningful cross-linking relationships within the content and develop visual strategies to represent these connections. Use tools such as sitemaps, navigation, and hyperlinks to map the web experience that allows multiple ways of exploration. Develop a cohesive visual system that unifies the texts into a digital reader with consistent, well-structured architecture. Project 2: Ways of Arranging (Weeks 5 – 9) Identify an HTML element as your interface element, and create a website that comprises 25 instances of this interface element, either visually or literally. Understand the semantic meaning and inherited styles, interactions, and functions of the HTML element; research its origin and common usages, and curate a content that complements, deviates, or subverts its common use. Compile all the instances you’ve created as components on a single page, you will then add your page to a class repository that we'll establish collectively as a component library. Project 3: Digital Platform (Weeks 9 – 14) The internet is one of the most prevalent and powerful communication technologies today, if not the most powerful. In the final project, you will create a digital platform for people to exchange information, goods, and services in a time of need. By connecting to a data management system, your website will collect, store, and publish the collected information from its users, and benefit the group as a whole.   https://hchn.xyz/Homepage Fri, 19 Nov 2021 21:35:30 +0000 hua chen https://hchn.xyz/Homepage Hua Chen (they/them) is a Brooklyn-based information rat cosplaying as a brand designer.
