Print and Digital Elements of Design: Branding and User Experience

Colorado Boulder examines how a design moves between printed and digital formats. Text and color decisions sit alongside printing considerations and online experiences. It is useful for learners who coordinate creative work and need to understand why a successful brochure cannot always become a website without adaptation.

What you will learn

• Compare print and digital design requirements.
• Communicate with designers and print providers.
• Review a design with its final user experience in mind.

Who this suits

Learners involved in branding or creative projects who want a clearer understanding of print and online delivery.

Before you enroll

Check the software and resource requirements before enrolling; design applications are not necessarily included. Separate the communication problem from the visual treatment, and review readability and asset licenses before publishing your work. Leave time to revise projects after feedback.
