課程概述

Visual Identity Design
_ Principles and Practices for Visual Usability & Communication
{ Communication design + Experience design + Branding }

視覺識別的建構是一連串說服與證明的過程。而「說服與證明」來自訊息接受者「日常生活與感官經驗」上的感動、體會與觀察,若無「日常生活與感官經驗」的「共相」,「設計」是無法達到有效的溝通與認同。年輕的創意可貴在勇於嘗試與生命力,而創意非設計的唯一,若無具體地設計與執行,是無法證明創意的價值。

Benefit
藉由經驗設計(Experience Design)、溝通設計(Communication Design)與品牌設計(Branding)的概念讓學員了解編排設計的表現形式與訊息內容之間的關係,同時練習在表現形式、目的性與功能用途間進行整合和平衡的工作。藉此了解傳播理論、視覺傳達、清楚編排原則、認識你的預設觀眾、以及掌握溝通視覺傳播的目的,並創造出知覺性的主觀視覺效果與有效的訊息傳遞、認知和識別。

If you think …
1. 軟體教學
2. Just listen & look! 不希望嘗試與體驗創作
3. 對設計、創意的價值與目的無認知者 …
Please don’t take it
 

課程目標
“Visual communication of any kind, whether persuasive or informative…should be seen as the embodiment of form and function: the integration of the beautiful and the useful.”
1. Context is everything.
Context+ Concept+ Collaboration = Communication
2. “Design is a language. Like other languages it has a vocabulary, grammar, syntax, rhetoric.”
_Just because something is legible doesn’t mean that it communicates; it could be communicating the wrong thing.
3. Understanding user expectations is part of defining Identity conventions
_Creating rules and a rationale for how your project’s visual language will work.
