How do you feel about human-computer interaction? How about graphic and interface design or information architecture or non-linear storytelling? Do you feel anything about the way humans interact with machines? Okay, you passed the Voight-Kampff test. This is the path for you if you’re passionate about things like the role of human psychology in designing user interfaces. As opposed to machine psychology, which… isn’t a thing. Interaction Design is extremely relevant to anything happening across web, mobile, social and online. You’ll learn strategic thinking, user experience design and development – and have the opportunity to apply for an internship in a professional studio, working on live projects.
