| Teaching & Learning Strategies: |
Lectures / Studio based Projects / Tutorials / Seminars / Case Studies / Industry engagement. Module will be delivered in a studio based environment. Lecture / practical and projects will run simultaneously. |
| Module Aim: |
Using a learning by doing, project based approach. Students will engage with the design process to enhance and further their digital development skills. The addition of audio and video development will enhance their skill base and lead to strong design solutions. Using industry relevant problems students will create creative solutions based on concept and delivered through creation of all digital assets. Using a developing skill set understand and gain expertise in life drawing, understand the human form and its mechanics. Understand movement through human form study, and drawing. Understand and engage in the area of 3d illustration / modeling, and gain knowledge in the area of creating elements for the 3D environments and characters. |

Module Content & Assessment
| Indicative Content |
|
UI Design and Development
Understand the process behind UI design and development. Use prototyping methods (paper, post it) to create an engaging UI interface and plan. Create a digital 2d version complete with design specs and all necessary information (size, colour, functions). Create all and any necessary UI elements needed for the further development and deployment of the Interface.
|
|
2D Illustration / Sketching
Enhance digital drawing skills, using industry standard tools. Develop skills to take a concept from sketch to digital asset. Create user engaging assets that meet the design and user requirements of your project. Engage with the design process regarding critical analysis and evaluation of created assets. Further develop illustration, image creation and manipulation skills using various industry software products. Build on previous colour theory to create engaging designs for user interaction.
|
|
Audio Production
Understand the process of creating audio elements. Explore various methods of audio creation, and recording. Understand technical requirements for the required audio. Create or record audio, use audio editing software to create audio assets need for your project. Understand various audio formats, file types and deployment methods.
|
|
Video Production
Understand the video production workflow. Understand video production methods and processes. Shoot and capture video using various equipment. Use post production software to create, sequence, and produce engaging video content to fulfil your project brief. Understand video formats, file types and deployment methods through various channels. Understand the technical requirements placed on video and streaming depending on the platform / media device being used.
|
|
3D illustration, character and assets
Develop a knowledge of the area of 3d illustration. Understand the principles, and processes involved and begin to develop a skill set that demonstrates this.
