A series of lectures and seminars introducing different design methods combined with design exercises that provide practical experience of these methods. All exercises are carried out within the framework of the project work that students carry out during the course. Methods covered include:
- methods for exploring the design space: exploration of technical possibilities such as design materials, analyses of the research front and work with mood boards.
- methods for supporting design assessments: parallel design, personas, brainstorming.
- methods for developing design alternatives: scenarios, simple prototypes, video prototypes, prototype construction with modern software and hardware tools.
- methods for design and presentation: fine-tuning and testing of solutions, effective user tests, presentation of completed solutions using different media.
