Responsive Enhancement
Responsive design is one of the most exciting developments to hit the web for some time. But there’s a common misconception that it involves merely slapping some media queries on to an existing desktop-centric site and labelling the result "mobile-friendly." Nothing could be further from the truth. This workshop will demonstrate that truly effective responsive design must begin with the content first, which is then progressively adapted to a multitude of screen sizes and environments.
£395 +VAT until 2nd August
Tapworthy Mobile Design
From first concept to polished pixel, learn to create a mobile app that delights. This full-day workshop teaches participants to “think mobile” by planning and creating app interfaces in tune with the psychology, culture, ergonomics, and context of an audience on the go.
£395 +VAT until 2nd August

Building Flexible Web Apps with jQuery Mobile
The workshop will begin by introducing jQuery Mobile’s philosophy of universal accessibility, the challenges and benefits of cross-browser/device development, and the patterns, tools, and workflows provided by jQuery Mobile to help you build rich web apps that elegantly address your users’ needs.
£395 +VAT until 2nd August
Influencing behaviour: people, products, services and systems
In this full-day practical workshop, we’ll try a novel approach to design and behaviour, using ourselves as both designers and cybernetic guinea pigs in exploring and developing a combination of physical and digital experiences. You’ll learn how to improve your own decision-making and understanding of how your behaviour is influenced by the systems around you, as well as ways to influence others’ behaviour, through a new approach to designing at the intersection of people, products, services and systems.
£395 +VAT until 2nd August
