Module Aim: |
Using project based approach, students engage in the design and development of new media designs from conceptualisation to planning to evaluation and distribution. Real world projects are used to provide experience of roles and process in the moving image, animation and 3D illustration. Communication and collaboration with the client/tutor and other students is important. Project briefs are provided and provide structure of content and process but also allow for experimentation and exploration of ideas and concepts. |
