A Seminar with Bud Kraus, of joyofcode.com

Awareness of the nature of The Electronic Canvas is essential in the development, design and production of web sites which yield the highest values and best experiences to users and clients. Ignorance is just no excuse as it can lead to devastating consequences for all concerned. Working with the dramatic and profound differences between the screen and fixed media is essential to designs which will work for everyone, everywhere: designs which will have integrity today and tomorrow. Join Bud Kraus in a lecture-discussion which probes how to leverage the characteristics of a scalable world, one that differs between platforms, browsers and the skills of every user.

Some topics we are going to cover are:
• Old World vs. New World Media. Overview of the differences between print and electronic publishing
• The Theory Of Relativity. Einstein would have been a great web designer
• Elements Of The Canvas. What do you mean, Electronic Canvas?
• Tricks Of The Trade. Some ways to approach some of the issues pertaining to The Electronic Canvas
• I'm Looking For A Few Good Web Sites. Examples of sites that get it.
