Interface Design for Multimedia Applications
Many technological innovations rely upon User Interface Design to elevate their technical complexity to a usable product. Technology alone may not win user acceptance and subsequent marketability. The User Experience, or how the user experiences the end product, is the key to acceptance. And that is where User Interface Design enters the design process.
Thus, MINTER1 class is designed to harness the full potential of the multimedia designer’s ability to pool together design principles learned in the previous subjects and conceptualization skills to produce an effective user interface that will make their websites and interactive digital media visually appealing but also user acceptable.

Interactive Content for Multimedia
MMICONT is a course for interactive media (web, offline digital and mobile). It prepares the student for interactive content by making them understand the content gathering and organizing process, as well as content preparation which includes writing. At the end of the course, the student should be able to plan, gather/create content for interactive applications. The course extensively uses creative skills in creating content, as well as logical skills in organizing the content. Since content is not writing alone, it would be beneficial for the student to have experience in graphic software and photography. The final project of the students should be good enough to be developed in their integration subjects (MINTER3 & 5 – web applications, MINTER 4 & 6 – author & mobile).
