Interactive Web Design.

Catalog description

The second course in a three-part series teaching front-end web design and development, this course picks up where GID 109 ends. We begin with a brief recap of previous skills, followed by a study of additional layouts including responsive web design layouts that adapt to the size of the device being used. Additional techniques include CSS4, HTML5, flexible images, media queries, and advanced navigation bars. Students will increase their knowledge of web design interactivity through the use of jQuery and Bootstrap. A variety of web page assignments will be hand-coded to master the fundamental techniques presented in this course. Emphasis continues on the effective use of project planning techniques, the principles of design, typography for the web, validation, and browser testing. One of two required creative website projects will focus in-depth on working with a client and project planning. Formerly offered as CGD 241. Spring.
