Experience and Service Design

Communication Design
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The discipline approaches Design as a response to problems that arise from experiences and human perception of the environment around us. From a door handle to a menu button in an interactive interface that allows navigating the narrative structure of a digital system - all these are problems (and solutions) of the User Experience (UX) forum, while Service Design extends this scope to handle the orchestration between multiple actors and subsequent touchpoints in creating a service experience. The dynamics adopted leads the student to rich and updated content, contact with active professionals and with case studies and good practices, as well as practical exercises that will allow the development of service concepts applied both to the market and to society in general (eg public services).

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    Teaching based on theoretical-practical and practical classes (laboratory), making use of reading and discussion of fundamental texts, exhibition and discussion of videos, case studies, presentations made by guests (in person and/or at a distance), debates on the topics proposed in the classroom by the teacher, guests, or by the students themselves based on their experiences in the classroom and outside it. A project of products/services will be developed using the concepts and tools presented in the Curricular Unit, being the component with the greatest weight. In addition, individual participation and the development of a seminar on topics in the state of the art will also be accounted for.
