    A challenging design case study for interactive media design education: Interactive media for individuals with autism
    (Springer International Publishing, 2014) Yantaç, A. E.; Orhun, Simge Esin; Ünlüer Çimen, A.; Communication Design; ORHUN, Simge
    Since 1999, research for creativity triggering education solutions for interactive media design (IMD) undergraduate level education in Yıldız Technical University leaded to a variety of rule breaking exercises. Among many approaches, the method of designing for disabling environment, in which the students design for the users with one or more of their senses disabled, brought the challenge of working on developing interactive solutions for the individuals with autism spectrum conditions (ASC). With the aim of making their life easier, the design students were urged to find innovative yet functional interaction solutions for this focused user group, whose communicational disability activate due to the deficiencies in their senses and/or cognition. Between 2011 and 2012, this project brief supported by participatory design method motivated 26 students highly to develop design works to reflect the perfect fit of interaction design to this challenging framework involving the defective social communication cases of autism.

    Integrating architectural approaches in communication design education to improve awareness in affordance design
    (International Institute of Informatics and Systemics, IIIS, 2017) Orhun, Simge Esin; Communication Design; Callaos, N.; Sanchez, B.; Savoie, M.; Tremante, A.; ORHUN, Simge
    The expansion of the range for the design of products in the field of Communication Design (CoD) calls for new teaching strategies to be sought by educational scholars due to the intense experience of digital natives with the digital tools and technology. In order to equip CoD students with better understanding of the importance affordance design for developing new tools and applications, this paper proposes an educational model that is based on the concepts of the discipline of architecture. By making use of analogical thinking, the formbased aspects of architectural design are adapted to the virtual aspects of communication design and have been applied in the studio design course that focuses on spatial communication between the years of 2009-2012 with 3 different versions of the design brief. Having based the research on a real-life problem, the outcomes reflected the benefits of making use of specialized knowledge of different disciplines in order to solve problems, whose solutions are beyond the scope of one discipline. © by the International Institute of Informatics and Systemics.
