It’s no secret that mobile devices have changed the computing landscape. An increasing number of people are browsing websites on smartphones and tablets, so they need to be mobile-optimized. People are also using native apps specifically designed for smartphones and tablets. With these new devices come new design challenges that we’ll discuss in this seminar.

Join us for a free 2-hour seminar so you can become a better designer. Here are some topics we’ll talk about:

  • How Mobile is Affecting Logo Design
  • Navigation
    • Small screens can be challenging. We’ll talk about and show examples of various styles of mobile navigation.
    • Pros and cons of different types of mobile navigation.
    • User experience and content flow. Considering what your users need, so they have a great experience.
  • Responsive Web Design
    • A responsive website adapts itself across different size screens (mobile, tablet, desktop, etc.). Unlike separate mobile and desktop sites, a responsive website uses a single codebase that adapts to any size screen.
