Course DescriptionThis course covers the creative and critical use of emerging technologies in visual communication design, including generative artificial intelligence, data-driven design, moving image, augmented reality, and physical, digital interaction. Adopting a speculative design approach, students translate their ideas into visual systems, motion content, and interactive prototypes, while evaluating production processes across ethical, social, and environmental dimensions.
