This course focuses on the production process in the interactive design industry. Students create a project of their own design and take it from the early planning stages through the production process to a completed interactive web site or kiosk installation. The class emphasizes the design and production processes and the building of professional skills needed to complete an interactive media project. While students develop their individual projects, they will explore the artistic and professional practices of interactive design in the areas of web technologies, digital TV, mobile devices, social networking, and interactivity in kiosks and art installations. The class introduces technologies associated with the interactive production pipeline, including the dynamic and semantic web, video and audio integration, information architecture and interface design. Students learn the syntax and application of a variety of advanced technologies such as Flash Actionscript, Javascript frameworks, Content Management Systems, PHP, RSS, XML, streaming video, and database integration. Skills in these areas are applied within the framework of student projects.
