This course explores user-centered interface design for information exchanges using mobile devices. Students will study the potentials for leveraging both the social and locative possibilities of mobile devices through research, discussions, and project assignments. You will develop a concept
for a mobile app and document your process using current tools, techniques and methodologies for user-experience design and user-interface
design. For your final prototype, you will use an industry-standard tool such as Figma to build an effective interactive user interface prototype showcasing your concept. Weekly assignments will culminate in this comprehensive portfolio project. Pre-requisite: ART 271, ART 275, or ART 262 (ART 262 may be taken as a co-requisite). Or permission of instructor or program coordinator. Recommended: ART 266 first. Three lecture hours and
