We Understand Where You're Starting

Beginning your web design journey can feel uncertain. Perhaps you have a background in graphic design but aren't sure how to translate your skills to the screen. Maybe you're drawn to web design but overwhelmed by the technical aspects. You might have tried online tutorials that left you with disconnected knowledge rather than a cohesive understanding.

Common Starting Points

You might find yourself unsure which design principles actually matter for web interfaces. The abundance of conflicting advice online makes it difficult to know which path will serve you well. Questions about responsive breakpoints, grid systems, or appropriate font sizing can feel more complicated than they should be.

What Holds People Back

Without structured guidance, it's easy to develop habits that don't align with professional standards. You might spend time learning outdated approaches or miss fundamental concepts that would make everything else easier to understand. The gap between basic tutorials and professional-level work can seem frustratingly wide.

Our Approach to Foundation Building

This course takes a structured approach to web design fundamentals. We start with core principles and build systematically toward practical application. Each concept connects to the next, creating a coherent understanding rather than a collection of isolated techniques.

Layout Systems and Structure

Learn how grids, spacing systems, and visual hierarchy work together to create clear, usable interfaces. We cover both the theory behind effective layouts and the practical application in modern web contexts. You'll understand when to use different layout approaches and how to create designs that guide users naturally through content.

Responsive Design Thinking

Rather than treating responsive design as a technical afterthought, we approach it as a fundamental way of thinking about web interfaces. You'll learn to design fluidly from the start, considering how content and layout adapt across screen sizes. This includes understanding breakpoints, flexible grids, and content prioritization.

Typography for Screens

Web typography involves different considerations than print design. We cover font selection, sizing systems, line length, and spacing in the context of digital readability. You'll develop an eye for effective text presentation and learn to create typographic hierarchies that enhance user experience.

Color Systems for Digital

Screen-based color presents unique opportunities and constraints. We explore color theory as it applies to web interfaces, including accessibility considerations, contrast ratios, and creating cohesive color palettes. You'll learn to make color choices that are both visually effective and functionally sound.

Your Learning Experience

The course runs for eight weeks with a combination of concept introduction, practical exercises, and project work. Each session builds on previous material while giving you time to practice and internalize what you're learning.

How We Work Together

1

Concept Introduction

Each session begins with clear explanation of design principles. We discuss why these concepts matter and how they apply to real projects you'll encounter.

2

Guided Practice

You'll work through exercises that help you understand how to apply each concept. These start simple and gradually increase in complexity as your skills develop.

3

Project Application

Throughout the course, you'll work on projects that let you synthesize what you're learning. These become portfolio pieces that demonstrate your growing capabilities.

4

Individual Feedback

Small cohort sizes mean you receive personal attention on your work. We address your specific questions and help you develop your individual design voice.

What You'll Create

Your coursework includes multiple design projects that progressively increase in scope. These range from layout exercises to complete page designs, giving you hands-on experience with each concept we cover.

Learning Environment

Our Fukuoka location provides a focused setting for learning. Sessions are structured to balance instruction with practice time, and the small group format encourages peer learning alongside instructor guidance.
