The Advanced Web Design Class is a non-credit course which will cover the more advanced aspects of web design. These aspects include (but are not limited to) tables, frames, .shtml, and stylesheets. We will be working on both PCs and Macs (for use with Macromedia Dreamweaver), and on the UNIX workstations.
Please also note that learning about design includes both structure and flow design and the actual design appearance.
The IMAGE Lab Advanced Web Design Seminar is meant for those who are comfortable with web design and HTML. This course is designed for people who:
- Are comfortable looking at and reading HTML tags and code
- Have mastered basic HTML presentation (<P>, <BR>, images, links, and simple tables)
- Are comfortable with (or eager to learn about) the UNIX (NWE) interface.
During the course of the seminar, we will explore a variety of complex design options from both a technological and a theoretical perspective. Our theoretical discussions will be grounded in Robin Williams' book, The Non-Designer's Design Book, a copy of which I do not require that you obtain. If you'd like to look at the book before the class starts, please drop by the IMAGE Lab and read a bit of the IMAGE Lab copy of the book; but, please not that the IMAGE Lab books must remain in the IMAGE Lab.
Please also look at web sites that you think are designed well and bring the addresses to class so we can all look at them.
Here are some sites that have simple and elegant designs:
