Design is a good field to make a career in and this stream can be branched into different specialisations. Some of popular design fields are – Industrial Design, Visual Communication, Animation, Interaction Design as well as Mobility and Vehicle Design.
In this article, we will be elaborating on what one should expect when they think of taking admission in an interaction design course. But first let us understand what Interaction Design actually is.
Interaction Design as a field requires one to design interactive digital products, services, systems and environments. Thus, interaction design is an amalgamation of product design, communication design and computer science.
Below you can view different courses one can pursue in order to make a career as an interaction designer along with the subjects he/she will have to study in the course selected.
