SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:	Within the scope of this course, which examines design with an interdisciplinary approach, creative designs are aimed at areas where design intersects such as architecture, engineering, advertising, cinema and public relations. Students comprehend the multi-disciplinary structure of visual communication design with the projects they develop these course frameworks.
Course Content:	After examining design on a theoretical basis within the scope of the course, students experience the processes of idea generation, project design and creation, and produce projects.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:

Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)

1) Defines the concepts of digital design. Theory of visual communication design, knows methods, strategies and techniques.

Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)

Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)

1) Constructs what has been learned within the scope of interdisciplinary approach as a finished project.

2) By conducting academic research that contributes to the field of visual communication design, performs an innovative and original thesis.

3) Adapts the knowledge gained in the course to different disciplines. communication environment and has the knowledge to use the tools competently at the level of expertise.

4) Generates ideas, implements and adapts them to the industry. Using his technological competence, creative and designs and implements original projects.

5) Relates information in different disciplines and communication fields with design elements, processes, interprets and uses information. Different cultural aspects of visual communication design analyzes and questions studies.
