Mark Boulton

Workshop: Design 101

Mark Boulton runs his own studio, Mark Boulton Design and the co-founder of small indie publisher, Five Simple Steps, a publisher hell-bent on producing simple and practical books for the web professional.

Mark started designing web sites when he was the ‘young guy’ in the studio back in 1997 and he’s been banging on about applying the fundamentals of good graphic design on the web ever since. He is the author of the bestselling ‘Designing for the Web’ and is currently working on writing more books. The fool.

Visual design is not magic, or the result of some God-given talent, but the result of applying rules, techniques and practice.

Mark’s workshop will cover the basics of visual design. From collaborative idea generation and visualising ideas, to the fundamentals of typography, grid design, composition and colour theory. Good visual design is like good jazz; it’s about having the chops to improvise around the constraints. That’s what this workshop will do: it will give you the chops. All you will need to do afterwards, is practice.
