Typography:
Principles of typography in web design, including font selection, hierarchy, readability, and responsive typography.
Grid Systems:
Implementing grids for layout consistency, understanding the 12-column grid, and how to use CSS Grid or Flexbox for modern layouts.
Whitespace:
The importance of space in design, how it aids in readability and focus, and its role in creating a clean, uncluttered layout.
Design in the Context of Programming:
HTML Structure:
Teaching semantic HTML for better SEO, accessibility, and structuring content logically.
CSS for Styling:
Deep dive into CSS, including selectors, properties, and modern CSS techniques for layout (Flexbox, Grid), animations, and responsive design.

CSS Preprocessors:
Using tools like Sass or Less to write more maintainable and modular CSS.
JavaScript for Interaction:
Basic JavaScript to enhance user interaction, understanding DOM manipulation, and the importance of progressive enhancement.
Front-End Frameworks:
Introduction to frameworks like Bootstrap for quick prototyping or more advanced frameworks like React for complex UI components.
Performance Optimization:
How design choices affect page load times, teaching about image optimization, CSS/JS minification, and lazy loading.
Graphic Design Integration:
Image Creation and Editing:
Using tools like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for creating or editing images suitable for web use, focusing on web-specific formats and optimization.
Iconography and UI Elements:
Designing or choosing icons, buttons, and other UI elements that fit the site's aesthetic and enhance usability.

Design Systems:
Teaching about creating or using design systems for consistency across large projects or multiple platforms.
Prototyping Tools:
Use of tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD for designing and prototyping, including collaborative design workflows.
Teaching Methods:
Live Design Sessions: Showing real-time design decisions and the thought process behind them.
Project-Based Learning: Students design actual websites or components from start to finish, integrating design with code.
Workshops on Specific Skills: Focused sessions on typography, color theory, or responsive design.
Critique Sessions: Peer reviews where students learn to give and receive constructive feedback on design work.
Case Studies: Analyzing successful (or failed) web designs to learn from real-world applications.
Coding Challenges: Where design meets coding, like creating a responsive layout from a static design.
By bridging graphic design with programming, a web designer can teach students not just how to make a website look good but how to make it work effectively, providing a holistic view of web design that's both aesthetically pleasing and technically sound.
