Objectives

* To develop technological, historical, theoretical and practical knowledge about designing for the World Wide Web;
* To plan, manage and implement design projects in the WWW;
* To encourage a critical and reflexive stance, promoting the argumentation of projects;
* To understand and integrate the multiple resources and media available in the Internet in projects for the WWW;
* To understand the specificities of the multiple technologies that are aggregated and remediated by the WWW and to select and use them according to the nature of the projects in development;
* To study the relations between digital publishing resources and traditional media, trying in particular to understand how they can be articulated and complemented in the development of communication projects.

Program

The course unit of Web Design II aims to develop and strengthen the knowledge acquired in the course unit of Web Design I, continuing the technical and theoretical learning process and emphasizing the application of knowledge in the development of communication design projects.
