Description

The complexity of information and data density has increased with the growth of digital graphic media formats. This subject explores strategies for the design and navigation of visual information for interactive and spatial design contexts. A range of multi-dimensional spaces in which graphic designers provide navigation cues will be considered from the perspectives of content, context and purpose. The subject invites you to engage with the design of emerging graphic media and the principles of universal design for improved accessibility.

Assessment in this course includes projects that engage with emerging graphic forms, for example; data visualisation, mobile phone applications, website design, and wayfinding programs.
