COM 565 Visual Aesthetics
This course will explore the core design components that make up the majority of interactive visual media. Through an even balance of theory (through reading and discussion), criticism (regular in-class critiques of work--both student generated and professional examples), and practice (through student project assignments) students will thoroughly explore the design of visual media, especially as it pertains to the creation of interactive products and experiences.
Goal
Understand aesthetic principles underlying the interactive electronic arts, and their relation to and divergence from aesthetic principles underlying traditional forms of artistic expression.
