Laura Elizabeth – Design Fundamentals
As a developer, you’re likely involved in design decisions on a daily basis. Maybe you’re being asked to add a new feature to your company’s web app, or you’ve had an idea for a side project that you want to look half-decent. Many tasks you work on involve some level of design skills.
The goal of this course is to give you a solid design foundation to start building upon. It’s not going to teach you everything under the sun about design but it’ll teach you the most important things you can do to improve your designs today — no matter how “artistic” you are (or, more likely, aren’t!). Some highlights include:
- EASY TO FOLLOW PROCESS
My workflow I use for almost every project from finding inspiration to colour and typography - THINK LIKE A DESIGNER
How you can train your eye to spot what’s wrong in a design and, most importantly, fix it - REAL CASE STUDIES
Over-the-shoulder case studies showing how I’ve designed different websites from scratch - VISUALS MADE EASY
Image and illustration treatment that anyone can do – even if you can’t draw a wonky line
