Rachna, Raffles Design Institute and some young professionals
, experienced more than an introduction to the world of web
designing at the 2 hour workshop conducted by BC Web Wise and
organised by Kyoorius exchange on Saturday, 26th August 2006.
In this one of its kind workshop the students
discovered that web designing is all about keeping it simple.
Not getting caught up in complex & alien HTML codes. The
main objective is achieving a simple human, navigable
interface that is appealing & and can create a connect
with the user. It’s all about putting all the elements
together in the best possible way aesthetically. The highlight
of the workshop was the interactive website creation that was
demonstrated on the spot to the students. Pictures and videos
shot by the students at the workshop were used to create this
web site.
