About the Workshop
Designing for the Web Workshops aim to teach you techniques for designing your website using the principles of graphic design. Featuring five sections, each covering a core aspect of graphic design: Getting Started, Research, Typography, Colour, and Layout. Learn solid graphic design theory that you can simply apply to your designs, making the difference from a good design to a great one.
Spend the day with Mark Boulton in this practical one-day workshop. Mark will walk you through a case study design from start to finish; from ideas and research through to typesetting, layout and colour palettes. In addition to covering in-depth, practical design theory, you will be participating in several group activities. This is a workshop, not a day-long presentation. We'll be finishing up with Q&A and a site critique, so bring along your sites and together, we'll work through suggestions and improvements.
If you haven't already got Designing for the Web, you'll receive a free PDF copy prior to the workshop.
The workshops will be held throughout November and December 2009 in London, Glasgow & Manchester
Who should attend?
This workshop is aimed at web professionals and freelancers, but not necessarily designers. If you are regularly asked to do some design, but don't class yourself as a designer, then this workshop will be right up your street. It's a workshop designed to provide a grounding in basic graphic design practice as applied to the web.

Mark Boulton is a designer from the UK. He's worked exclusively in web design for over ten years, but has a background in traditional graphic and typographic design. Drawing on this traditional background, Mark is able to bridge the gap between graphic design and the modern web design. Mark runs his own web design studio, Mark Boulton Design, who specialise in designing simple, beautiful things for the modern web. In February, he self-published Designing for the Web which has sold over 7000 copies since release. He also co-wrote Web Standards Creativity published by Friends of Ed, and he writes a popular Blog, mostly about design.
