Skillful graphic design of graphical user interfaces for networked or stand-alone performance or productivity tools, mobile devices, information-appliances, and the Web, is critical to the success of innovative products. This course gives software developers, visual designers, interaction designers, marketers, and business managers valuable insight into essential design issues and how to achieve powerful, effective visual communication that improves usability and appeal. Extensively illustrated lectures cover perceptual, conceptual, and communication issues in typography, symbol systems, color, spatial composition, animation, and sequencing.
