“Attractive things work better” [D. Norman]. Therefore, an appealing visual
design for websites and apps should be of interest to anyone involved in
creating them.



Visual design is not something magic.


The course breaks visual design down into small chunks and introduces them
step-by-step including multiple hands-on exercises. For the exercises
participants can use Powerpoint, Keynote, Sketch, Illustrator or Photoshop.



Participants will learn:


   - The basic elements of visual design (typography, icons, color, layout)
   and guidelines how to use them to create an appealing design.
   - Principles of design and how they apply to visual design.
   - To see and recognize good design.
   - To better understand and communicate with design experts.

Everybody is welcome to this course. It is most valuable for practitioners
such as user experience professionals, software engineers or product
managers, as well as for researchers and students in the field of
human-computer interaction.
