Course Overview

Many of the problems in design, such as beauty, legibility, and attractiveness, are visual problems. In this course, through lectures, students will acquire basic knowledge of vision, including form perception, color perception, aesthetics, and visual attention. In addition, lectures and discussions will be held on cases where psychological methods have been applied to actual visual information design, such as package design, product patterns, lighting, and architectural exteriors. In addition, through project-based learning, students will conduct actual experiments and surveys to acquire psychological experimental and research methods.
