WEB DESIGN & INTERACTIVE MEDIA Bachelor of Science 12 Quarters WHAT IS WEB DESIGN & INTERACTIVE MEDIA? The quickly evolving field of interactive media requires talented people to combine sound, images, text, and animation in order to entertain and educate. These designers do much more than just code; they understand the need to design with both the client and the end user in mind. 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’re problem solvers, helping businesses reach their target and marketing goals. They design the underlying architecture and screen interfaces, incorporating intuitive, strategic layouts and high concept to communicate. WHAT WILL I LEARN? As you may imagine, a dynamic field such as this requires a lot of ongoing practice and high technical proficiency. This is true, but a strong foundation of core courses lays down the framework. Courses in drawing, design, color theory, and computer applications get you moving in the right direction. From there, you jump into digital imaging and illustration, sound design, information design, and writing for interactive and media.
