| Course Objectives: | The course aims to inform the student about the design of user interfaces through a game design perspective. The principles and concepts used in design of graphical user interfaces will be explored and discussed through the examples and literature, by evaluating not only games but also other applications and software. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; |
| The course will provide a general introduction to the theory and practice of computer user interface design. The fundamental question that we will try to answer is, “How can we create high-quality user interfaces?” Principles extracted from several design guidelines would be examined during the course, as the user interfaces of current applications will be examined according to their conformance to principles and guideliness. |
