One of the defining features of this course is its relationship with technology. The course is particularly designed to explore the consequences and opportunities offered to both media and design discourse and practice, by technological developments. This requires both a critical approach to emergent technologies as well as an understanding of their cultural and social implications.

Key study topics include:

• Investigations into type, image, time, motion, cause & effect, narratives and time & space
• Researching design and new media techniques
• Introduction to graphic design history and culture
• Design and media contexts: producer, audience & user
• Conceptual development and personal practice
• Design investigation and work-based learning
• Techno culture and postmodern space: virtual and real
• Client and competition briefs
• Major project, portfolio review, exhibition preparation and dissertation.
