Course Descriptions:
UXD-206 - Web Design I (3 hours- one session per week, plus a two hour studio)
Designing for the web is fundamentally different from designing for print or static screens; layouts must flex, type must scale, and visual decisions play out across devices and contexts a designer can't fully predict. In this course, students develop hands-on fluency with the web as a design environment by analyzing existing sites, making intentional visual design decisions, and building responsive, multi-page websites using HTML and CSS. No prior coding experience required.
Requirements:
Experience with Adobe software and CSS + HTML is required
A Bachelor's degree and a minimum of three years of industry experience in relevant areas are required.
A Master's degree in a related field, relevant experience, and teaching experience is preferred.
