"Design - Make- Wear"

Tutor: Shanit Adam

A research and study workshop, in which the student will plan, design and execute

objects and accessories made of soft materials and look into different ways to use textile, leather and soft materials in product design

In a series of lectures and exercises that combine theory and practical technical skills, students will explore tools, materials, techniques and production , in order to create a design infrastructure and work with professionals, understanding the unique qualities of the craft.

Photoshop/Illustrator In this course, the students will acquire fundamental tools of digital visualization. The course focuses on two popular editors by Adobe Systems: Photoshop and Illustrator. Adobe Photoshop Basic terms of the "Bitmap/Raster image" concept. Introduction to the software interface, topology, layouts and menus.

Texperience

The course is a hands-on workshop, for research and practical experience in digital technology as a tool for product / experience design. During it, students will acquire work skills in a digital environment (Physical Computing) while using digital technology as a means of concept realization. The aim of the course is to teach the ability of technological rapid prototyping of ideas through logical thinking, and to be able to communicate with technology professionals. In a series of lectures and exercises that combine theory and practical technical skills, students will learn code, logical thinking, connecting electronic circuits, soldering, and building systems that include sensors and ways to integrate technology and interactivity into spaces and objects. The course will include a number of exercises and a concluding project, through which students will practice design-technological making.

Introduction to Graphic Design The course deals with of visual communication and graphic design. The course provides basic knowledge for the creation of info graphics, 2D presentations and branding. The course is based on combination of text, image and composition exercises.
