1專業(yè)介紹
1.1 體驗(yàn)設(shè)計(jì)Experience Design
體驗(yàn)設(shè)計(jì):Investigate human needs and experiences to devise improved services, systems and environments.
Experience designers take a holistic and integrative approach that focuses on the quality of the human experience in concrete situations. They employ research, analysis, creativity and technology as tools to understand human goals, needs, and desires. Their work examines and improves contexts, systems, services or events.
要點(diǎn)(1)專注體驗(yàn)的質(zhì)量(2)利用研究、分析、創(chuàng)造力和技術(shù)來理解、定義需求(3)產(chǎn)出:檢查和改進(jìn)上下文、系統(tǒng)、服務(wù)或事件。
培養(yǎng)目標(biāo):體驗(yàn)設(shè)計(jì)師
1.2 平面與信息設(shè)計(jì)Graphic and Information Design
專業(yè)定義:Create messages and meaning using visual form and the integration of text, image and data.
該專業(yè)有兩個(gè)培養(yǎng)方向:平面設(shè)計(jì)師和信息設(shè)計(jì)師
1.2.1 平面設(shè)計(jì)師
Graphic designers exploit rules of visual composition, form, and pattern to construct narratives or to command attention. Their work often has a persuasive intent.
要點(diǎn):(1)利用構(gòu)圖、形式和圖案來構(gòu)建敘述或吸引注意力。(2)重點(diǎn)在說服力。
1.2.2 信息設(shè)計(jì)師
Information designers visualize concepts and data to enhance human understanding of complex and vital knowledge. Their work often has an enlightening or instructive intent.
要點(diǎn):(1)將概念和數(shù)據(jù)可視化(2)重難在幫助理解、啟發(fā)和教育。
1.3 交互設(shè)計(jì)
Create navigable interfaces and systems that allow audiences to take an active role to achieve meaningful goals.
培養(yǎng)目標(biāo):交互設(shè)計(jì)師
Interaction designers focus on the creation of navigable interfaces and systems that allow audiences to take an active role to achieve meaningful goals. Their work connects people to people and people to information and environments.
要點(diǎn):(1)創(chuàng)建可導(dǎo)航的界面和系統(tǒng)(2)將人與人、人與信息和環(huán)境聯(lián)系起來,解決問題。
1.4 媒體藝術(shù):
課程介紹:create experiences of image and form with computer screens, intelligent devices, and new materials.
課程包括:紀(jì)錄片、游戲藝術(shù)、可視化、視覺效果、動畫、互動藝術(shù)、插畫和動畫短片等,有動畫、攝影、視頻三個(gè)方向。該項(xiàng)目的美術(shù)部分和UAL中央圣馬丁合作。
有動畫、攝影、視頻三個(gè)培養(yǎng)方向
1.4.1動畫
動畫集中為包括電影、視覺效果、傳播、可視化、游戲和空間媒體在內(nèi)的各種動畫內(nèi)容提供了整個(gè)流程的全面探索。動畫專業(yè)提供了大量的機(jī)會去探索并與相關(guān)的創(chuàng)意學(xué)科(VR/AR/XR,游戲設(shè)計(jì),交互,視頻等)合作,通過2D和3D動態(tài)設(shè)計(jì)探索有效的視覺溝通。
1.4.2 視頻
視頻藝術(shù)是一個(gè)多學(xué)科領(lǐng)域,專注于創(chuàng)意視頻表達(dá)和信息傳遞,將藝術(shù)和設(shè)計(jì)基礎(chǔ)、藝術(shù)和設(shè)計(jì)歷史、視頻制作、電影語言(包括紀(jì)錄片、敘事和實(shí)驗(yàn)策略)、協(xié)作框架、以及社會&文化變革理論和美學(xué)實(shí)踐整合在一起。
1.4.3 攝影
