Course content
Basic design - Part 2, Design Basics is the second part of the basic course in design. This course continues the introduction to industrial design and informs the student about the other specialization directions interaction design, service design and systems oriented design. The course builds on the tools and methods presented and practiced in Part 1 of the basic course. The course includes an integrated drawing course that focuses on methodological and analytical freehand drawing. The basic course focuses primarily on the design aspects of the industrial design profession through individual design and an aesthetic exploration of two-and three-dimensional expressions. Through a longer design project the student will gain experience with implementing a design process in different phases towards a fully developed product that is presented through the use of visual communication aids in a final presentation.
