We’ll discuss the theory, best practices, and some tools you can use to make your job easier. When it comes to common web design patterns, you’ll learn about the elements you can use to design a web page—things like headers, hero areas, buttons, image galleries, contact forms, and more. For each of these patterns, we’ll look at the definition and some use cases, and then we’ll apply that knowledge to a demo project: a three-page portfolio website designed specifically for this course. ► Check out this link for the project brief and course assignments: https://bit.ly/37YMk4W ► Read the course notes (and more!) for Web Design for Beginners on Envato Tuts+: https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/articles/web-design-for-beginners-epic-free-course–cms-41118?utm_campaign=yt_tutsplus_B-ytMSuwbf8&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=youtube.com&utm_content=description ► Link to wireframe portfolio website with Figma: https://www.figma.com/file/Ak0JQMv65digqiASGnoLI0/Portfolio-Website?node-id=0%3A1 What You’ll Learn: 00:00:00 Welcome! 00:04:31 Course brief and assignment 00:05:48 UI design vs. UX design vs. web design 00:14:08 Learning to work with project briefs 00:19:59 Working with wireframes 00:28:08 Picking the right design tool 00:33:53 Color theory 00:51:36 Color harmonies, psychology and tools 01:03:11 Creating a color palette for our project 01:20:00 Let’s talk about typography 01:31:11 Creating the typography for our project 01:46:01 Spacing and sizing in web design 01:54:47 Using icons and images in web design 02:03:33 Definition and use cases for headers 02:11:39 Let’s design a header 02:28:16 Definition and use cases for hero areas 02:33:06 Let’s design a hero area 02:39:08 Definition and use cases for buttons 02:44:46 Let’s design some buttons 02:57:27 Definition and use cases for image galleries 03:01:38 Let’s design an image gallery 03:12:34 Definition and use cases for footers 03:17:55 Let’s design the footer 03:26:37 Definition and use cases for testimonials 03:31:48 Let’s design some testimonials 03:44:15 Definition and use cases for tabs 03:48:11 Let’s design some tabs 03:59:47 Definition and use cases for accordions 04:04:03 Let’s design an accordion 04:13:19 Definition and use cases for contact forms 04:18:17 Let’s design a contact form 04:32:49 What is a responsive website? 04:36:55 Making layout changes for tablets and phones 04:56:44 Making a component responsive 05:09:52 A quick word about prototyping 05:16:11 Next steps and key takeaways – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Envato Tuts+ Discover free how-to tutorials and online courses.
