About This Class

Most of us know great design when we see it. If you've ever held an iPhone, seen the inside of a Tesla S or walked through a building designed by Frank Gehry, then you know how important design is. The emotion it brings out of us as we interact with great design is indescribable.

What You'll Learn

  • Intro to Design. The subtle differences between design and aesthetics.
  • The Power of Grids. Grids create order out of chaos. You'll learn how to build the structure that lives underneath your design.
  • Establishing Visual Heiarchy. 5 ways to establish visual hierarchy: color, space, alignment, implicit, and explicit. 
  • Choose and Combine Typefaces. You'll identify different fonts, then adjust their size and kearning.
  • Personality and Context in Color.  You'll choose an appropriate palette based on understanding of color theory

    • What You'll Make

    By the end of this class you'll understand how the design process works, how to think like a designer and how to put all the elements of design together to create something amazing. You'll finish with a home page for your portfolio that speaks to your unique design sensibilities. 

    You may or may not want to be a designer, but learning to think like one is crucial.
