The Media Design Program explores communication across media, using traditional and emerging technologies to take on the info-saturated, networked world. Media designers are meaning-makers who skillfully combine the medium and the message to create communications that integrate the user, reader, or viewer’s interaction. Media designers work with interactive objects and spaces, transmedia typography, massive- and micro-scale displays, still and moving images, sound, narrative, dynamic information, branding strategy, interface design, and graphic visualizations. The practice is informed by an in-depth understanding of material culture, communication theory, productive interaction, design research methods, and media history and theory.
