Today, we delve into the aesthetic of 80s game websites and explore graphic design fundamentals. Participants will learn the concepts of vector and bitmap graphics, create buttons using various tools, and evidence their designs. The session includes a practical task: design 12 buttons for an estate agent with 3 major buttons, each having normal and mouseover states. We will also discuss the differences, advantages, and disadvantages of vector versus bitmap graphics, enhancing your understanding of various design techniques.
