May. 12th Master Class: Design for the Tablet Age

TAKEAWAY: A first for me: a Master Class online. Sponsored by Print Magazine, this one hour class will allow a give and take between me and participants from around the globe. Find out more here.

The virtual classroom

I am honored to be invited to give an online Master Class, May 26, duration one hour.

The class, sponsored by Print Magazine, will allow me to present my views about designing for what I call “printnets”, readers/users who travel well from print to digital,and who use a series of platforms to receive information.

I am excited to be able to participate in what has already been a successful series of master classes by various designers.  As someone who has been in front of a class for most of my 40 years in the business, it will be exhilarating to face a class online. And, yes, participants will be able to interact and ask questions, as I am told.

Details of the class

Highlights of what I will cover in my class:

• Strategies for storytelling and designing in the times of the iPad and beyond
• What to be aware of in terms of type, architecture, and multimedia
• The difference in reading patterns between the page and screen
• To identify examples of work that succeeds, and work that doesn’t, on tablet devices
• The process behind some of the best work being done today. I plan to highlight examples from a variety of sources.

By the way, My Design Shop is the online shop that Print magazine created last year to sell the magazines and books published by its parent company F+W Media. It’s where you register for the Master Class. That site also sells items there that have been published in the magazine. For example, wthe site is currently promoting its Carry Hope project, which is 13 designers who made tote bags for their favorite charity, and all the proceeds go the charity that they have chosen.
