CoLab: Creative Web Design

Level: Undergraduate

This course will cover the basics of the internet and the fundamentals of web design. Students will each build their own basic web page, and add new features to it as they learn new skills. Rather than creating generic pages that could easily be built with cookie-cutter tools, we will go beyond the ordinary by incorporating advanced creative coding techniques into our individual designs. By the end of the course participants will have created their own unique web-based art, using the same tools and skills required to make any web page from scratch. These skills will help you stand apart from the crowd with unique, eye-catching designs. Based on curriculum developed for CCTP-702 Creative Web Development, this course will emphasize skills that empower participants to be life-long-learners, understanding that programming is a practice of problem identification, research, and experimentation.
