  4. Intro to Big Ideas in Digital Media Interactivity – idiomatic to the medium Perception & Cognition – how we see, know, and act Non-Linearity – freeing thought and action from the illusion of linearity Virtuality – immersive experiences via graphics, sound, and interaction Remediation – digital media re-mediates other, older media, e.g. photos, sound Field of User Interface Design/Human Factors

  5. Intro to Interaction Design Communication, action, and feedback Interface as membrane between user and author Who is your user? User persona, narrative Navigation of information structures – analysis and design How to support engagement, delight, exploration, empowerment, learning

  6. The Digital Media Design And Production Process Experimentalism a required approach to a dynamic medium Treatments, Sketches, Flow Charts Un-learn the assembly line process Preparing assets for screen-based works Prototyping and testing (know more earlier) Iterative design, repatterning (30 circles) Start rough but whole and loop with successive refinement and completion Collaborative strategies via a team project

  7. Basic Understanding Of Interative Digital Media Technology How 2D computer graphics works Bitmap vs Vector Graphics Digital media 2D file formats VERY basic 2D motion graphics (vs DAI 427, an in-depth exploration ) Preparing assets for real-time screen performance and online access Basics of digital audio Combining digital video with interaction
