What’s it all about?
Have you ever been asked to design something? A birthday card, a sign for a lost pet or garage sale, a ‘do the washing up’ sign for housemates? Or perhaps you just want to find out more about what design is, or how designers think and solve problems?
This is a fun and informal class for non-designers to discover what it is all about and to practically explore the basic principles.
What will we cover?
Design is all around us. Street signs, labels, magazines, computer apps, websites, the list goes on. But, design is about much more than that! This beginners’ class will look at what design is and how it is relevant to many aspects of our daily life.
During the workshop we will look at design issues, discuss ideas, work together on problems and play with our ideas to try and produce practical solutions.
