NEWS: Online Event | Why bother? Coding for Designers

 

Really, why should a creative mind bother learning how to code?

Innovecs (international software development company) spots a trend of hiring designers with coding skills. It can be one of the most rewarding competency. Let’s discuss it with two experts from ironSource: Playworks Studio Art Director Giacomo Maragliulo & Manager of Creative Operations Emmanuel Bergman.

Talking points we’ll cover:
~ To code or not to code, that is the question.
~ Turn your ideas into a product — bring your design to real life.
~ How code influences design decisions.
~ Code as a medium to create a great user experience.
~ More marketable and adaptable designers on the market.

The designer doesn’t have to become an expert coder, but understand a developer’s perspective. It leads to “shared understanding” and better understanding of the project’s technical needs and limitations.

Useful for:
~ designers, graphic designers, 3D / 2D artists;
~ recruiters & HR managers;
~ team leads, PM.

Join the talk to deep dive into the new designers’ reality!
