Course Overview
This course is based on the concept of designing and developing cross-platform solutions that solve problems identified in various communities, industries, or target users. In this course, students first research the community of their choice to find gaps and issues. Then, students will present their idea for a technology solution that could address that gap. While working in teams, they create, design and develop the cross-platform application that they will present to the rest of D3 students, faculty and industry partners. The project relies on defined market and users’ needs and requires efficient navigation, functionality, and user-friendly design and interaction. Key objectives of the project are presenting the initial idea, planning, resourcing, team management, progress tracking, troubleshooting. The project tasks include an initial proposal, strategy, concept, navigation workflow, prototype and final product. Students will create a user interface that provides for user-friendly interaction and workflow, imagery, optimized assets, vector graphics, and an online aspect. This project course also collaborates with students in the programming, design, and asset integration courses of the D3 program. .
