Web Design 101

Tiphoni

As an illustrator I think of every website I design as a unique interactive illustration. In this workshop you will not only be learning the basics of html / css and dreamweaver but also how to design and creat handmade art to use as your website elements. This class is a four week workshop for the beginner but some basic computer knowledge is recommended.

Supply List:

• Laptop* loaded with Dreamweaver (you can download a free 30 day trial of the full version from Adobe.com)
  
  *please note If you would like to take this class without a laptop and rather as a “lecture” type class you are welcome to do so.
  
  

  Optional:

• Favorite Art Medium: such as acrylic, watercolor, rubber stamps, colored pencils, collage, pens, etc. I will supply some basic materials.
• Photos: bio picture, personal artwork, images to use in template, etc.

A Little About ME

I am a visual thinker, conceptualist, problem-solver and story teller. I have a passion for experiencing and studying the visual world for its lustrous color, its incredible shapes / spacial relationships, and its ability to form our thoughts, emotions and experiences as we go through life. Currently I’ve felt a strong pull towards interactive art and have been currently working on ways I can create my illustrative work but in a 3-dimensional environment so the viewer isn’t simply reading my story but experiencing it by full immersion.

I graduated from RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration, June 2007. I have also been the the web-designer of Artfest, artFIBERfest the Journalfest sites.
