COURSE DESCRIPTION
The digital world is evolving by the minute. In fact it is currently one of the world's fastest-growing industries.

The Bachelor of Applied Design (Digital Media) is all about the process of communicating specifically in a digital environment using images, typography, sound, motion and interactivity for expression, communication, social interaction and education.

Digital media design refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated. Areas of study include internet design, anything interactive (e.g. touch screens), CD ROMs, DVDs, digital interfaces, digital animation, video games, Flash technology, mobile phones and a whole lot more. If you're fascinated by time-based visual communication e.g. anything that moves, this is the course for you.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
This course has a clear objective - to optimize your ability to research, plan, organise, conduct and complete creative, sustainable and cost effective strategies for the Australian and international markets. Throughout the course you discover the diversity of the digital world, from internet design, touch screens, CD ROMs and DVDs, to digital interfaces, digital animation, video games, 3D, film, TV and emerging technologies.
