• Research and inspiration: The first assignment is the Research and Inspiration phase of the design project. Background, site and user research will be conducted to explore the problem outlined in the design brief. A set of initial concepts will be generated through ideation processes and communicated through storyboards and/or interaction scenarios. A separate set of presentation slides should be prepared for an in-class presentation.
• Design process and teamwork: This assignment asks you to plan and document your design process as it unfolds over the
  semester. Each entry will write up the work done each week on the project, and provide an evidence trail of the design thinking and making of the design project in action. Teamwork project
  management and conflict resolution will be included in the weekly reports.
• Design document and concept video: This assignment asks you to prepare a set of final design documentation to capture the design concept, process, grounding research, detailed design, evaluation and outcomes. You will also create a concept video to communicate the problem/opportunity, the concept, the setting, the user behaviour, the interaction and the benefits of your design solution for the chosen context. A separate set of presentation slides should be prepared for an in-class presentation.
• Workbook: This goal of this assignment is to encourage you to document the development of your observational skills and aesthetic sensibility related to qualities of body, movement, and space, within various contexts, perspectives and frames of reference. You will participate in class activities, read articles, find inspiration, and even extend your learning outside of formal class activities.
