What does an interactive media designer do?

• An interactive media designer is concerned with:
– Aesthetic value 審美價值
– Planning the creation of a new thing
• Often, this new thing is a communication
– The designer is using audio-visual elements to make something that can convey an idea to other people
• Design can be looked at as:
– A work in progress
– Solving a problem to meet a need

Main points so far

• Multimedia design = create a new thing (continuously?)
• The new thing must satisfy users’ needs
• The designer accomplishes various tasks (within a team)
