Visual Web Design Master Class For A Beautiful Web
Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London
1st December 2008 | 9.00am - 5.30pm Social: 6.00pm 'til late
Join Andy Clarke and special guest Brendan Dawes for a special full day learning how you can create masterful designs for the web. With only days to go, there are only a handful of remaining places. Book yours now.
Sometimes, in all the excitement about AJAX, APIs, frameworks and other technical whizz-bangs, talk about design gets lost. This one-day Visual web design Master Class will inspire you to make the best design possible for the web, how to discover new ideas and new ways of working. If you work as a visual web designer, a print designer who wants to know what makes the web special or you are a technical person who is keen to learn more about how visual designers think and work, this master class will take you to the next level and beyond.
You will learn to:
- Be inspired to make better designs
- Improve layouts with grid-based techniques
- Improve readability through better typography
- Use small details to big effect
Places are strictly limited
We will be limiting the maximum number of people attending to 40, so that you will be able to get involved and have all your questions answered.
Special guest: Brendan Dawes
