The Wheel of Competencies

… shows all the different fields of the Multimedia Design and Communication programme divided in these four major areas. This wide range of subjects is what makes multimedia designers flexible and adaptable co-workers and project managers.

The Multimedia Designer (MMD) with focus on:

Interaction Development and Programming
works with the planning, structuring, realisation, implementation, testing and maintenance of websites and web applications.
Communication and Dissemination
can work with communication in a broad sense both on the Internet and in the production of other multimedia products. On the basis of analysis the MMD plans a communication strategy that is relevant to a given sender and identifies the relevant target group and its needs.
Business Studies and Project Management
can identify the tasks of a given project and the client’s objectives. The MMD analyses the organisational objectives and strategy of the client, the needs of the users and the relevance of the product for the users.
Visualisation and Concept Development
has a good eye for designing user interfaces. On the basis of a methodical concept development – if relevant, in collaboration with the client or team – the MMD can transform complex information to a user-friendly and clear graphic expression. The choice and design of typography, colours and pictures form part of the competences of the MMD, who is also able to integrate relevant media effects, such as 3D, animation, video and sound, in the production.
