Fine Arts Program

The course is a continuation of D120 Introduction to Product Design 1. It seeks to carry on with the introduction of fundamental principles in designing objects as marketable products, and the basic structure of the design process: empathizing with users, defining design problems, ideating for solutions, prototyping the concept, testing the product and launching to the market. The students will focus understanding the problems encountered with everyday objects, and creating solutions for them through the design process.

Utilizing technology in translating traditional methods of illustration and painting into a digital medium.

This course is designed to introduce the student to the field of computer animation. Primarily focused around one of the industry standard software for animation and motion graphics.  It covers the core principles of animation and is intended in leaving a solid foundation and  understanding of motion graphics and compositing theories and techniques.

Block A

The course seeks to deepen the understanding of students of the different theories and methodologies that constantly shapes and reshapes the landscape of product design as a mode of practice. 

The course seeks to introduce basic techniques in manipulating natural materials for the prototyping phase of the product design process. 

Art Periods and Movements: Ancient to Modern Art 

On their final year in the product design program, students will be enganged in a final thesis project as a way to assess their understanding and technical skills applied in the product design process.

The course seeks to introduce basic techniques in manipulating natural materials for the prototyping phase of the product design process. 

Advanced Materials Course

Art Periods and Movements: Ancient to Modern Art 

Designing systems for communities and businesses, eg. design of a
workplace (kitchen, office, etc.), Information within spaces (signages and directionals),
modular/collapsible furniture and storage systems, etc. 

Continuation of Techniques 1

The course seeks to introduce to product design students the historical overview of design and its movements, the fundamental principles in designing objects as marketable products, and the basic structure of the design process: empathizing with users, defining design problems, ideating for solutions, prototyping the concept, testing the product and launching to the market.
