About This Event

Visual interface design combines detailed interaction design, screen layout, and branding to ensure that a well-conceived, well-behaved product is also a usable and desirable one. Doing visual interface design the Goal-Directed way helps ensure that decisions and evaluation are based on clear criteria, rather than subjective opinion.

This two-day workshop will teach you how to:

* Use research and personas to guide visual choices and drive consensus
* Use color, size, and other visual properties to clarify interaction and information
* Create learnable, memorable icons
* Adapt your corporate identity to a product or Web site
* Apply visual design principles to multiple platforms
* Manage the collaboration between interaction design and visual interface design
* Develop a comprehensive visual system for consistent, easy application
* Capture your work in a comprehensive visual style guide

After taking this course, interaction designers, programmers, and product managers will be better able to evaluate and discuss visual interface design. Practicing visual interface designers and graphic designers may find that the sections on brand and using visual properties to establish hierarchy are review.
