Description

People will learn basic skills to form a concept for a website/webapp by using InDesign.

I will show how to use InDesign in the designing process considering responsiveness and creating a nice and appealing interface.

Agenda

We will start to define the goals of a little web project. This could be a cool webapp for fintech, a nice food app, a landing page or whatever we decide to create. The participants therefore are invited to provide their ideas for this prototype.

We define target group and basic functionalities and continue with wireframing.

Then I start to create the design mockup for a website or app by using InDesign. I show the basic workflow of the program and finally creating a fine mockup which will be ready to be prototyped in HTML/CSS.

Everyone can join the process. Therefore we download a test version of InDesign if not yet installed.

Designers and developers using different tools like SketchApp or Adobe Experience Design are heartily invited to join and to discuss advantages/disadvantages of this workflow afterwards.

Participants

The group will work together on a design mockup for a website or app. With a group of more participants different tasks can be assigned to little smaller groups to split the work.

Outcome

participants take the knowledge to decide if the new skills can be a good alternative to their previous workflow.

It might be interesting for people who work already in traditional printing and publishing and want to have an easy start in creating digital media.

Apart from sharing knowledge would be great to find people starting a new idea and making a simple idea real.
