Intended learning outcomes
The main objective is for students to develop proficiency with contemporary user-experience concepts and approaches in information visualization and information design. The aim is to reach a relational level of understanding, where students integrate aspects of user experience, communicative intentions and technical feasibility into
- establishing the foundation for a design repertoire of advanced visualizations, and
- developing craft skills in innovative concept design for advanced visualizations.
Course content
Topics include interactive visualization, data design, interactive infographics, visual storytelling, and big data visualization.
Teaching and working methods
The course is based on design tasks executed individually or in teams in a studio setting. The design tasks start from rather open briefs; they entail iterative processes of research, ideation, concept development, assessment, and problem framing. Each task is presented and assessed in a structured crit session.
