Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
In this module you will explore the foundations and core theories and principles of design thinking related to your chosen area of design and how they are applied in both commercial and social endeavours through the medium of digital visual communications.  You will compare various design methodologies and approaches to problem solving idea generation techniques and the inhibitors of such activities.

Design thinking is an iterative and reflective process and during this module you will develop skills in recording, analysing, evaluating and synthesising data and information in order to progress the design process to a successful user centred outcome.
Additional Information:
'Design Thinking' is widely recognised as a methodology or process for solving problems creatively in an inclusive manner.  It is an approach that focusses on those for whom the solution is being sought 'user centred' by engaging with them at all stages, from the initial defining of the challenge through to the implementation and delivery and seeking to understand and address their requirements.

In this module you will explore the foundations and core theories and principles of design thinking related to your chosen area of design
