Design Basics for Scientists
Inhalte
The workshop conveys a basic knowledge about the compelling usage of graphical elements (typography, image, color) and the application of the key principles of graphic design (balance, proportion, composition, alignment, focal point, etc.) to professionally and effectively present academic content. In combination with an overview and training how to use essential design tools of the graphics software Adobe InDesign CC, participants will have the opportunity to train their design skills hands-on, as well as to get the best out of their drafts, by analysing and discussing with group and trainer during the practice sessions.
We use InDesign to show you the basic workflow with a professional design tool. No matter what kind of software you will choose later, all key principles of design covered in the workshop are transferable to any other application.
