1. Development of design and production skills based on professional standards.
2. Development of business and project management skills required for client work.
3. Development of team-building skills.
4. Experience in development of web sites for clients.
5. Development of significant work contributing to professional portfolios.
Course Goals and outcomes:
Primary teaching goals:
• Studio: teamwork, team leadership role, team-based development of creative solutions and projects.
• Client based Project:
- client communication
- client presentations
- field work to initiate design proposal and client/project brief
- production timeline for client approval
- develop project
- live site launch
• Instructor consultation: team consultations with instructor during project design and development process.
Secondary teaching goals:
• Site review and analysis: study and analysis of current web sites according to specified criteria
• Lectures and visiting professionals in related fields
• Discussion: team examination of web site analysis
• Market research
• Case methodology: design and implementation of usability studies
• Critique: cross-team review and critique of ongoing projects
Topical outline
1. Key elements
• Roles: business, creative, technical (the minimum team)
• Objectives: each roles has its objectives within the process
• Deliverables: business documents, artwork, prototypes
• Activities: project management, research, design, production, engineering, maintenance
• Client: the simple client, the composite client, and the surrogate client
2. Initial preparations
• Survey of current skills, interests, and achievements of individual students
• Formation of teams based on survey results
• Team selection or assignments to client projects
Students in this class will combine all skills developed to date to rapidly design, deploy functional Web sites. Students will develop and deploy two Web sites, one of which must be completed within a team, over this term and be evaluated on Effectiveness, Aesthetics, Completeness and Sophistication.
Students will work on team project in order to experience real life work environment. Also they will work on understanding the development cycle. Sites are developed, deployed, tested, and maintained on web servers. Team-based design and development process is coordinated through project management and research practices.
Emphasis in class is placed on strategic and tactical design process, industry standards, usability studies, business proposals, design documents, and other professional practices.
