This course explores modeling the user experience and understanding digital interaction such as action/response systems, events, behavioral states, and transitions. Students will experiment and research interface designs that elucidate principles such as usability, metaphor, simile, idiom, navigation, modality, direct manipulation, and abstract. Beginning with screen based systems such as web, mobile and tablets they will review the most pervasive design patterns and emerging trends. By observing real users and prototypes students will learn to plan, experiment, discover, interpret, discriminate, revise and justify their designs.
