This minor prepares students for the emergent growth industries of information and entertainment afforded by ubiquitous digital technologies. It explores creative gaming technologies through a critical and cultural perspective, and with a focus on the creative visual design of digital media experiences for end users. Students will study the social and cultural impact of games, the psychological and social principles of game design, and the development of digital and analogue visual media for games. The minor has been designed with a view to complement other areas such as interactive media, design, film and video and games programming.
