Are there any good crash courses in design where I can learn:
• how to improve my workflow
• how to negotiate contracts
• how to create and work to a design brief
• information layout (ie. reference books/sites, instructional designs)
• how to manage medium - large scale projects
• how to work with a team
Do practical courses exist like this? I never studied design at uni, is there a systematic approach to creating a design brief?
I enjoy web design, and am fairly adept with CSS/XHTML. I'd like to be able to offer javascript and ajax skills to my clients, but have never had time to learn of either of them.
I'm aware that my workflow in general is erratic. I'd hope to learn ways to streamline and improve it.
I've got an EOS camera which I've used occasionally for work. I'd like to learn what to aim for in photography for clients, if only for gaining confidence in what I already know and do.
It's actually been quite difficult putting what I want into words, but this is a start...
