Overview
Understanding and applying the principles of service design is an important part of a designer's repertoire of knowledge. 'Services' in this unit are defined as carefully considered human-centred experiences with objects, artefacts or places connected by a system or systems of use. You will undertake a project based approach supported by theoretical frameworks discussed in the studio. The unit takes case study examples of creating and organising the provision of a service and enables you to then explore your own ideas. The practice elements of designing for services introduces you to creating work flow charts, experience testing techniques, and information graphics to communicate ideas and realise solutions.
