| Description | First generation ebooks mapped old patterns onto
new technologies, giving new form to traditional
"pages" with electronic readers. Second
generation technology, the tablet platform,
allows for a rethinking of content presentation
from the ground up. Full use of a tablet for
book publication requires reconsidering the
nature of a book itself. It might include video,
animations, kinetic typography, hyperlinks,
social networking. This project-based course will
explore issues in designing for this exciting new
medium. Emphasis will be on prototype creation,
though visiting professionals will present and
discuss current workflows and practices.
Also open to 3rd year design students with
permission from the instructor. |
