VISUAL PERCEPTION AND DESIGN

Course Description

Visual process comprises a complex structure, dependent on the source, physiology and the entire conscience dynamics. Information based on perception is dependent on the resultant of logic and brain activities. Within the scope of Visual Perception and Design, it is aimed to improve talents and skills of the students related with perception, visual perception, visual thinking, visual analysis, design, creativity and observation. Within this perspective the course concentrates on basic and advanced elements in design and their interactions with visual perception as well as the importance of working memory and brain processes. The scope of the course also contains theoretical views about visual perception and design.
