Pencil to Pixel presents

Happy Cog

Bringing Your Clients Online

Designers are constantly confronted with the complexities serving their clients' needs in both an offline and online world. To meet this challenge, AIGA Philadelphia is pleased to present a crash course in interactive process from the fine folks at Happy Cog. Join us for a three-part lesson with no prerequisites required!

Happy Cog will review specific design processes that they use to “make the web a better place.” Along the way, they will provide insights into the opportunities the web can provide, and also give an insider’s view of their portfolio that covers best practices in User Experience, Design, and Code. Examples that illustrate where print and web approaches overlap and where they diverge will be explored and discussed.

Learn directly from the experts who, literally, write books for interactive designers and regularly host website design conferences. Happy Cog also creates beautiful websites for happy clients such as AIGA, Advertising Age, Thomson Reuters, Warner Bros. Films, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), WordPress, Zappos, VisitPhilly, and Mozilla.

The lecture will be presented by:

Kevin Sharon
