Is your organization seeking graphic design or user experience design support to solve a new or existing challenge? As part of their final-year capstone project over the Fall and Winter semesters design students will be able to take on a sizeable applied research project to help your organization. Most students will continue on with their projects from the Fall term.

Students will use all of the experience and learnings from their four-year Bachelor of Design degree to help research, plan, ideate and deliver a potential solution to your challenge.

How this works:

---------------------------

In the Fall semester (Sep - Dec 2020), students work on the Discovery and Define phases of the project, where they conduct various research methods to best understand your problem, your organization, your audience/users to help define scope of the project.

In the Winter semester (Jan - Apr 2021), students work on the Develop and Deliver phases of the project. In the Develop phases, they explore a range of possible solutions with you and your stakeholders. Students will also test their prototypes or mockups with end-users or audience groups and will then move into the Deliver phase to create a final set of deliverables for your organization.
