Jason Beaird Guest Lecture at The Art Institute of Atlanta
Recently Jason Beaird, author of SitePoint’s all time best selling book The Principles of Beautiful Web Design, recently visited my User-Centered Interface Design class at The Art Institute of Atlanta to share some design wisdom. Jason’s design talent and amiable personality are present in his book, making it as fun as it is interesting to read.
Jason’s talk drew upon the core design principles he discusses in his book, and provided students with some practical advice on what to expect in an agency environment. After the talk Jason joined a class critique of a redesign project students had been working on. I think students were a little nervous about being critiqued by the guy who wrote a best selling book on design, but once they realized how down to earth Jason is, they gained their confidence back.
Below you’ll find a podcast of the talk along with Jason’s slide deck for your learning pleasure.
