  • Su Berland Schaer: Lessons Learned on the Journey From Print to WordPress

    WordCamp Atlanta 2017Speaker: Su Berland Schaer

    October 19, 2017 — Good design is important no matter what the medium. Making the transition from print to web has been an ongoing and evolving education. There are certain constants as well as plenty of differences between the two. I’d like to share some of the things I’ve learned as a designer that will help others who feel like the learning curve is overwhelming. I’m a graphic designer who will likely never write original code, so WordPress has made the web a friendlier, more inviting place for me to work.

  • Jesse Emmanuel Rosario: WordPress, Design, and You

    WordCamp Toronto 2017Speaker: Jesse Emmanuel Rosario

    October 19, 2017 — User Experience (UX) design is such a hot industry today with no shortage of Medium articles telling you how to break into UX. There’s detailed talk about portfolios, which courses to take, and whether designers should learn how to code, among others. What they seem to miss, though, is the ‘getting started’ part: How do you do a design project and ensure that it gets from discovery all the way to deployment? If design portfolios are about the projects that you’ve brought to life, then how do we do them and build them well?

    In this session, we will be looking at the design process and the Elements of User Experience. We will be reviewing the milestones inside web projects and the activities that make it successful. You will learn what makes great websites great, and what makes designers advocates for their own work.

    Design is finally having its golden age. Will you be a part of it?
