You will learn how to develop convincing, trustworthy messages and create effective means of interaction
The Message specialization is our unique approach to communication design. It blends traditional design with moving images and new technologies. You will draw, print, photograph, and film to later transform these images into multilayered multimedia stories. You will build complex systems and design functional tools that make life easier for users.
This program connects directly to the real world, allowing you to understand the practical dimension of the communication design profession. You will combine various formats—print, digital media, events, video, and public space interventions. Using both analog and digital tools, you will execute complex projects grounded in the study of human behavior, society, and culture.
