1.Brief description and aims of module

Devised Project II supplies the time and creative freedom needed to deliver an example of digital creativity that meets professional standards of quality and originality. Your artefact may take a number of forms such as a creative computing tool, application, experience or installation, yet should be underpinned by your conceptual and technological interests while maintaining qualities of novelty and surprise.

You begin by reflecting on the outputs of Devised Project I to agree a final form for your artefact with your project supervisor. From here, you collect the required resources to realise your idea, and develop an initial proof of concept that is reviewed in terms of its potential commercial or sociocultural impact by industry representatives. Following this engagement, you continue to iterate and refine your artefact individually while meeting regularly with your project supervisor in part to review progress, and in part to discuss routes to employment following successful completion of MSc Creative Computing.
