ART 438H - Communication Design: Motion/Web Design: Visualizing Information in Time

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

In this class, we explore motion, sound, and interactivity to produce dynamic visual information for the screen. The first assignment reviews differences and similarities between print-based media and motion design. The second assignment creates a real-time production using interactivity and concurrency. The final project includes theme development, self-running (synchronized) diagrams, and animation. Incorporating sound effects and/or music are required for all projects. We intend to gather and upload all three projects for a web site. For example, the assignment is used for a banner, the second assignment is used for an optional link, and the final project is used as the main information of the web site. Software for this course includes Illustrator and Photoshop; Flash and/or After Effects for motion; and Dreamweaver for web editing. This course focuses more on the quality of ideas and the structuring of visual information in time than on software instruction.
