Designing for Clarity - Graphic Design Tips for Non-DesignersBianca Woods
Basic design is a skill that anyone can learn with a bit of practice. And that’s what you can learn from this presentation. It walks you through some basic, “use on Monday” design advice. These practical tips can be used to take any project, from a simple handout to a smartphone app, and make it easier for others to understand and interact with.
The advice in this session isn’t going to make you a graphic designer overnight, but it will give you some basic design rules to use that you can use immediately without much trouble and then continue to build on as you become more and more comfortable with design.
