SUMMARY:Cooper U: Visual Interface Design course
LOCATION:San Francisco\, California\, USA
DESCRIPTION: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.
\n
\nThis two-day works
 hop will teach you how to:
\n
\n    * Use research and personas to guide vi
 sual choices and drive consensus
\n    * Use color\, size\, and other visua
 l properties to clarify interaction and information
\n    * Create learnabl
 e\, memorable icons
\n    * Adapt your corporate identity to a product or W
 eb site
\n    * Apply visual design principles to multiple platforms
\n    
 * Manage the collaboration between interaction design and visual interface 
 design
\n    * Develop a comprehensive visual system for consistent\, easy 
 application
\n    * Capture your work in a comprehensive visual style guide
 
\n
\nAfter taking this course\, interaction designers\, programmers\, and 
 product managers will be better able to evaluate and discuss visual interfa
 ce design. Practicing visual interface designers and graphic designers may 
 find that the sections on brand and using visual properties to establish hi
 erarchy are review.
