Institution:

Otis College of Art and Design

Subject:

Description:

The emphasis in the first semester is on the development of advanced product design skills, through the application of a design methodology, the integration of strategic design and the user experience. Studio courses and projects are structured into two areas of focus; soft goods design and hard goods design. Students can elect to have a focus in one of these areas or can choose to take both both areas. Students engage in projects of varying complexity to explore the issues of user interface, technology, user experience and interaction design. In the second semester students have the opportunity to choose a product area and develop a thesis project that addresses a cultural, social, economic, marketplace or user need and demonstrates the culmination of their undergraduate training as a product designer.
