Abstract: During this workshop on the basics of visual design best practices<\/a>, we\u2019ll examine examples and counter-examples of great design, the basics of layout, simplified color theory<\/a>, rules for fonts and legibility, images and photographs<\/a>, designing<\/a> stamps vs. pages vs. slideshows vs. billboards, copyright<\/a> and creative commons<\/a>, and free and open source<\/a> design tools (photo manipulation<\/a>, illustration, layout, catalogs, and quick editors).<\/p>\n

\n* Choose the best colors, layouts, fonts, and graphics for other design projects
\n* Respect copyrighted work by finding imagery and other materials that are freely and legally available
