About this minor
In the minor Transmedia Design you will not only think of what story to tell, but also how to tell it. You’ll explore innovative ways of storytelling using multiple platforms and create and study stories that are interactive and participative.
You’ll do so by designing a Transmedia production yourself (a campaign, an art-project, an immersive experience, an interactive documentary, etc).
You’ll explore new media techniques, like VR, AR, and make use of generative AI tools.
