COURSE OVERVIEW

Many technological innovations rely upon User Interface Design to ensure that the product is user-friendly. Technological innovation alone may not necessarily win user acceptance and marketability. The User Experience, or how the user experiences the end product, is the key to acceptance, hence, the importance of User Interface Design.


Interface Design for Multimedia Applications (MINTER1) is designed to harness the full potential of the multimedia designer’s ability to apply design principles and conceptualization skills to produce an effective user interface for websites, authored works, and mobile applications that takes into consideration development, visibility and usability factors.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

 

Identify the UI and UX principles applicable for the production of an effective interface design for offline and online multimedia content.

 Recognize and interpret the elements that constitute an interface design.

Use basic HTML and CSS codes to develop an interface applying the design principles.

Organize the structured interface based on the design objectives, target audience, and proposed medium of work (offline/online).

Evaluate the effectiveness of the work through problem-based learning and user testing.

Modify and construct a final interface for online and offline media based on internal testing and user feedback.
