Websites Beyond The Page is a class taught by Ilona Brand and Meghna Dholakia . In this class, we teach folks to use websites as a medium for creative expression. We lean into the personal, the playful, and the poetic. We explore questions like: how might a website change with the seasons? What can the web do that print can’t? What if a website had to forget? How do we build a website to last for an age? To study those questions, this course introduces students to the basics of web development, including HTML, CSS, and javascript.
This session was taught at Type Electives , a new school for type design. Over 5 weeks we explored what websites can do, culminating in personal projects.
