Introduction
Explore the nature and aesthetics of interaction design. Practice creativity in a hands-on studio environment.
Workshop dates: July 13–17, 2020 (2 pm–10 pm CEST)
Faculty: Matt Nish-Lapidus & Erik Dahl
What is this workshop?
Interaction Design is the practice of designing how people use and relate to technology, systems, and objects from a human perspective. It focuses on theory and techniques that help us make things that are meaningful, useful, and usable for people based on their context and needs. This five-day workshop focuses on interaction design foundations, history, critique, aesthetics, and contemporary issues in a studio environment. It provides a great intro to new practitioners as well as an in-depth exploration of interaction design foundations for experienced designers.
What will you learn?
- Design foundations, theory, history, and practice
- Sketching, concept models, and more design techniques
- Giving and receiving critique
- How to be creative within constraints
- How to practice creativity, design synthesis, and more, in a hands-on studio environment
- Working both individually and in small teams
How will you learn it?
This workshop takes a “learning by doing” approach, offering participants an opportunity to get hands-on with interaction design through small team projects. Through a mix of lecture and studio, participants will explore the aesthetics, history, and practice of interaction design producing their own prototypes and presentations by the end of the week.
Please note: This workshop is currently undergoing changes in order to be held via remote learning. Please check back soon for a more up-to-date description of the workshop’s activities.
Is this for you?
This workshop is for anyone who wishes to explore the practice of Interaction Design in both a theoretical and practical way. If you are coming from another design discipline this will be a great intro into what makes interaction design unique. If you have never done any design before, you will get a chance to learn the basics of how to work like a designer as well as the detailed context of interaction design specifically.
What do you need to bring to the workshop?
- A computer
- An open mind and willingness to try new things!
