• The course will introduce students to organization research, user personas, information architecture, navigation, usability testing, website design and website production. A key component of this course is the audience that will use the website. It is important to remember that audiences are constructed of many diverse groups of people with specific needs and wants. We will conduct research to understand these needs and wants and how they can be facilitated with design and technology as they are applied to a screen-based interactive experience. The world wide web is a constantly evolving medium. It is from this perspective that we will explore the many topics of design including color, typography, conceptual thinking, imagery, composition, usability, and accessibility.
