WEB DESIGN & INTERACTIVE MEDIA Associate in Applied Science 7 Quarters WHAT IS WEB DESIGN & INTERACTIVE MEDIA? Web designers and Interactive media designers can find inspiration anywhere. Realizing that their designs must not only be attractive, but also smart and intuitive, these artists look to everyday objects for inspiration for Web sites, kiosks, CD-ROMs, and other Interactive media presentations. Web designers and Interactive media designers have specialized skills both as artists and technicians. They know how to attract people to certain Web sites and information kiosks, and dazzle them with CD-ROMs. They design the underlying architecture and screen interfaces, incorporating intuitive, strategic layouts and high concept communications. Simply put, the user should be able to navigate through a Web site, information kiosk or CD-ROM presentation without having to put thought into how to browse it. WHAT WILL I LEARN? By working in classrooms and computer labs, students of the Web Design & Interactive Media associate’s level degree program have the opportunity to develop a strong foundation in drawing and design, digital image manipulation, interactive design, graphic design, and animation. In later quarters, students become involved in more complex coursework, combining animation tools on personal computers, in addition to software applications to integrate text, sound, images, animation, and video to complete a project. PROGRAM MISSION The mission of Web Design & Interactive Media is to prepare students to work in an environment that integrates electronic communications that are essential to communicating in contemporary business, education, and entertainment industries. Graduates will be prepared for entry-level positions in the rapidly expanding field of interactive design, web design, graphic arts, digital media production, or project coordinator. 40 PROGRAM OBJECTIVES Demonstrate and integrate knowledge of the major concepts, theoretical perspectives, empirical findings, and historical trends in interactive media. Understand and apply basic research methods in interactive media, including research design, data analysis, and interpretation.
