This video has been made by year 3 Digital Media and Interaction Design Global student Alarik, who is currently completing his study abroad at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia. As you can see from his film it looks like there has been plenty of time for exploring as well as studying.
Thanks to Alarik for letting us share his video.
Something new for you to follow on Instagram @playfulinteraction – this is the home of the year 2 Playful Interaction module.
Lecturer Denise Milne says ‘What we’re doing in the practical classes is applying the skills learned each week in fun and creative ways. We are taking the circuits off the breadboard and turning them into something playful. The module is about creating playful interactions and to do that I think it is essential that we re-experience the joy of play which will aid us in creating successful and effective playful opportunities for users.’
The posts below show some of the projects created in the very first session. You can see how the work develops by following @playfulinteraction on instagram or checking back here –https://www.instagram.com/playfulinteraction/
Many thanks to Denise Milne and the students on the Playful Interaction module for allowing us to share your work. The Playful Interaction module is taught by Dr. Tom Flint and Denise Milne.
Rocio from year 3 Digital Media and Interaction Design created this motion graphics piece on the theme of disintegration.
She says “I decided to explore what disintegration suggested to me personally, and landed on a theme of our current view of events. Through the eyes of Social Media we can see what happens in the world almost in real-time but ironically this detaches us from the events greatly. We become spectators and have come to a point where posting a picture or changing your profile photo seems like an active participation in solving some of the world’s biggest problems, and where we also get to choose which ones to represent and which to not. I felt that I, as much as people around me, have fallen into the false perspective that this is doing enough and how this is quite nonsensical. “
Her characters are carefully designed to be simple yet show emotion and she has integrated live action and photographs with the animation.

Many thanks to Rocio for allowing us to share her work. The Motion Graphics module is run by Dr. Richard Hetherington and Andrew McKelvey.
Andrew Watson, one of the year 4 Digital Media and Interaction Design students created this piece for the Visual Effects Storytelling module. Students were asked to pitch ideas using pre-vis created in Unreal Engine to demonstrate how their ideas would work. Andrew then chose to shoot live action footage and add visual effects based on his pitch to create the finished piece you see here.
Many thanks to Andrew for allowing us to share his work. The Visual Effects Storytelling module is run by Dr. Richard Hetherington and Andrew McKelvey.
This piece was created by year 4 Digital Media student Frida Lindblad for the Visual Effects Storytelling module. Frida chose to create a title sequence for Macbeth, integrating 3d objects and live action footage.
Many thanks to Frida for allowing us to share her work. The Visual Effects Storytelling module is run by Dr. Richard Hetherington and Andrew McKelvey.
In this project by Ashley, Eli, Khloe, Molly and Zak the user plays the part of a time traveller, learning about significant moments from Edinburgh’s history as they take part in an augmented reality location based game on their mobile device. The story is inspired by the 12 Labours of Heracles – some of the work from the group’s concept book showing how the story was developed can be seen below.

Many thanks to the group for allowing us to share their work.
As can be seen from the pitch video, this project is a cross-media adventure that brings the Wizard of Oz bang up to date. Toby, Alex, Darren and Ryan created media across several different platforms, encouraging their users to explore and piece together what has happened to the characters.
The images below show some of the media used to tell the story – sketches made by Dorothy, which were hidden within the records on website of the Emerald City hospital where she is being treated and a page from a diary.

The celebration of our student’s work continues with “Murder on the Mile” a concept created by Emma, Kirsty, David, Luis and Sean for their Digital Storytelling coursework. Based on the story of Burke and Hare, the cross media adventure encourages users to explore Edinburgh whilst solving a murder mystery.

Yesterday our students became our graduating class of 2019 as they crossed the stage at the Usher hall. Here are a few pictures taken by 3rd year student Mari-Nikol Panteva and Lecturer John Morrison to celebrate. We’re all very proud of what our graduates have achieved so far and wish them every success with whatever happens next. Keep in touch!

The Week 16 team showing off the lab before the sprint – the lab that needs the added sparkle!
This event is one of the “Belonging” projects at Edinburgh Napier University, where students are encouraged to get involved in developing their community.
On the 15th of May 2019, Celina McTavish (3rd year DMID student) conducted a design sprint to gather students` ideas on what “belonging” means to them and how we can use these ideas to bring a sense of community to our lab. The session was organised in four steps with eight students who regularly use the lab.
We began with an ice-breaker followed by a 20-minute brainstorming session where students were asked the following:
Capturing ideas on what “belonging” means
Some of the ideas – it’s going to be tricky to please everyone!
Students engaged with the brainstorming session by writing and drawing their thoughts on post-it notes. To try to encourage more interactions with this session, everyone came up to the front of the room and helped organise the post-it notes into sub-categories. Grouping the ideas helped to reveal keyword answers to each question.
Celina and Wilf collect everyone’s ideas
Following this brainstorming session, prototype sketches are being created that will be used to develop real solutions for the lab. The design sprint is focused on collectively designing an environment that emits a sense of belonging to a community with a goal of enhancing student connection with the university.
Celina works with the group to identify key areas for development.
Thanks to Celina Mctavish for writing this post. There will be a follow up showing the detailed plans for the lab soon.
