Digital Media Solutions 1: Design Principles and Practice

In this course, students will explore the principles of digital designs in terms of their visual design components (space, line and shape, tone, colour, movement, and rhythm) and the functions they perform in various forms of digital content production (images, video and film, sound, and animation). Students will receive hands-on training in digital image, video and sound production by engaging in a complete production cycle from conceptualization, through to production and post-production. To situate their practices within the wider social, cultural and economic contexts of digital design, students will also learn an explicit theoretical vocabulary for exploring, explaining, critiquing, and evaluating their design practices.
