Web Design: Learn Pro Techniques (September 2015)

Get a job (or a better one!) in web design. Learn design techniques used for Amnesty, Timberland, BBC, Microsoft & more

For a lot of people getting your first great job in the digital design industry seems like a crazy dream…

Getting into the industry can seem super-intimidating. Even people who already work in agencies sometimes struggle to progress if they aren’t learning the right skills.

Here’s the thing. The top agencies and in-house digital teams have usually got more work than they can handle so there are often opportunities for enthusiastic people who can come in on the ground floor and learn fast on the job. If you’re smart, if you have some talent and you’re prepared to put a little work in, that could be you (cue fist-pump).

By the end of this course you’ll be able to design a working prototype of a website with great user experience (UX), user interface (UI) and interaction design (IxD). You’ll be able to use navigation in a sophisticated way and learn the basics of responsive design for multiple devices. Along the way you’re going to learn how to present content and work with web fonts and colours. And you’re going to learn all the right terminology to articulate how you reached your design solution.
