Week 1: Introduction and Assignment 1
The consulates of several Latin American countries are preparing an outdoor exhibition of Latin American artists at Luzánky Park next Spring. This exhibition will include paintings, sculptures, music, and film from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. For the exhibition, the organizers will set up digital kiosks (touch-enabled displays) throughout the park that will allow visitors to learn about the artists, the artworks, experience the music and videos, as well as find information about the location of park’s facilities such as bathrooms, public phones, ATMs, and public transportation.
Your task in this project is to design the interface and the content of the kiosks for the exhibition. It is up to you to conduct research and decide the exhibition‘s theme, what kind of content people can access, the artists and artwork featured, and collect all visual mate- rial. Prototyping for this assignment will be done exclusively using Adobe InDesign, while creating any multimedia content can rely on other software. Kiosks will be designed using 1080p resolution in 55” displays in vertical format.
To submit:
• Original InDesign files
• Video walkthrough of the features.

2. Visit car dealerships in town and see what are the current design trends in dashboard design and the type of information presents to the user. I suggest particularly looking at the dashboards of electronic or hybrid cars like the BMW i3, the Nissan Leaf, the KIA EV6, the Skoda ENYAQ iV among others. These cars are available in car dealerships across Brno.
Week 7- Assignement 2: Autonomous Driving Car Dashboard
In class work:
After visiting the car dealership, let's think about what specific needs the driver might have when going from one place to the other? How do these needs differ from a regular human-driven car?
Research, inspiration, and pain points/opportunities
Reference Lecture:
Assignment
Videos about Autonomous Cars (PLEASE WATCH)

Initial Design Exploration
Short Lecture: The Urge Theory
Next Week:
We will do some initial paper prototyping and testing of the dashboard. Define specific scenarios that we can test.
