Web Design for Print Designers, A Hands-On Workshop

Katie Parker-Obrecht, Assistant Department Chair for Graphic Design and Photographic Imaging,
The Art Institute of Atlanta

This hands-on workshop focuses on the ever-growing popularity of combining print and interactive design platforms. Especially designed for the un-savvy web designer/educator, the demonstration would serve as an information session on designing for interactive platforms and integrating interactive materials in to print classes without ever knowing how to code. Emphasis will be placed on design fundamentals for interactive media, appropriate interactive media for a graphic design portfolio, unity and variance over multiple collateral items in differentiated media, print output for an intangible world, how to display interactive components in a print portfolio, and case studies of successful projects. A printed folio and CD of materials will be given to presentation attendees.
