An introduction to designing the interface, both visually and technically, for New Media projects and applications. Good interface design allows the user to accomplish a variety of tasks. It should not force a user to look all over for information and buttons. It should allow the user to operate intuitively, with ease of navigation, and be entertained at the same time, regardless of the information being communicated. Team-taught lectures, presentations, and demonstrations will investigate both the programming and visual communication aspects of developing good interface design. (New media core or permission of instructor) Credit 3

An introduction to the techniques and practice of graphic and animated fi lm production, this course provides training and practical experience in producing two-dimensional animated sequences using off the shelf multimedia software. Students produce a number of short exercises incorporating original computer generated and non-digital artwork. Topics include key frame and 'tweening, cycling, acceleration, squash and stretch, backgrounds, inking, rotoscoping, sound, masking, multiplane effects, and space-to-time. Screenings of professionally made fi lms will illustrate and provide historical perspective. Profi ciency in drawing is not required, but strongly recommended. (Required for new media design and imaging and new media IT second-year majors) Credit 4

Multimedia developers and designers are called upon to create a variety of interactive and animated pieces. One of the most powerful tools to create dynamic animation is Adobe After Effects. After Effects is used to create TV broadcast animations, instructional animations, and high-impact logos and introductions. It gets its strength from being able to combine multiple still, motion and sound fi le formats into one cohesive piece. The strength and limits of the software only stop with the imagination. This course will explore and integrate a number of related software packages including, but not limited to, Adobe After Effects, Peak, QuickTime and three dimensional applications, as well as conceptual development and production. (Completion of new media design sophomore core) Credit 3
