PRD-207: Form Design & Storytelling

Department
Credits 3
Instructional Method
Academic Level
Design should enhance the lives of those who use it; through function and through form. Through research and prototyping, we can improve our understanding of necessary product functions and user interactions. Through practiced perception, we can improve the shape and feeling of products, imbuing them with meaning beyond their physical boundaries. Learn to hone your sensitivity to form, along with your ability to tell a story that defines and justifies its reason for existing. Balance the trade offs between the sculptural and the mass manufactured. Develop a renewed sensitivity to detail. Boxes with filleted edges are an automatic fail.
