Learn to design websites for mobile phones, tablets, and desktops using the visual design principles of color, layout, and typography.
Visual conventions, standards, industry trends, web typography, grid systems, calls to actions, appropriate use of color, and much more will be covered through lectures and hands-on practice, giving you experience with the process and principles for designing responsive websites.
You will design and produce one or more projects in class to come out with portfolio material. Your work will be critiqued and you’ll get feedback to help improve your designs.
This is a design class in which you’ll use Adobe XD, Figma, or Sketch, so you’ll need to feel comfortable using one of those apps.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.

Great class. Coming from a development background with knowledge of Sketch and some basic graphic design concepts, I was able to relate to Dan's helpful and insightful feedback while working through the class website project. He provided suggestions covering a wide range of design elements - content, gestalt principles, typography, color, photo elements, the overall feel, etc.

Having some knowledge in visual design, I wasn't sure if I needed this course but decided to take the leap. It was a fantastic course than gave me more insight toward visual guidelines, ideas and strategies that I have already put into place the day after class. I recommend this class to anyone looking to gain more knowledge in this field.

My professional experience up to this point has been primarily print based so when I learned Noble Desktop had a web and mobile class geared toward visual designers, such as myself, I immediately signed up and was very pleased with the results. The three day course offered an in-depth overview of visual theory, communication design, technical processes, industry practices and standards as it relates to cross platform web design. The assignments were pertinent, engaging and offered an opportunity to learn from fellow classmates. The course instructor was a highly effective instructor, attentive to each student and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this class to others seeking to make a positive career change.

The Visual Design bootcamp is a must for anyone getting into the UI field. Dan Rodney is a great instructor with lots of knowledge and enthusiasm. I learned a great deal in a short period of time. Very happy I decided to go with Noble Desktop.

In class you will be designing a website, so we encourage you to come with a concept (or real-life project) in mind. If you do not have one, the instructor will help you brainstorm ideas or will provide you with project ideas you can choose from. If you want to work on your own website design project, please collect as much content (text, images, logos, etc.) as you can ahead of time, and bring that to class so you’ll be ready to work!
