WordCamp: its reputation often proceeds itself as a gathering of WordPress beginners and experienced developers sharing ideas and best practices. Each attendee comes out with a new trick or process they hadn’t considered before.

So why should a designer attend WordCamp Atlanta? Whether your focus is website design or branding, there’s a place for you at WordCamp.

Website designers – If you tend to stay comfortably on the design side of a website build, we challenge you to get a little uncomfortable. While there will be several design-focused talks at WordCamp Atlanta, try attending a few sessions in the developer track. It’s essential that you understand the language, processes and confines that exist in a website build.

Print designers – Did you know designing a page on a website isn’t much different than designing a brochure or flyer? The goal is to communicate efficiently and effectively using visuals that catch your eye and guide a user down the page. Attending a content-focused talk at WordCamp Atlanta can help you understand the content hierarchy you need to take into consideration when designing a website. Heck, it may even help you create better brochures, as well!

Logo / Brand designers – Every brand that you create touches many different mediums. Your logo may appear on a business card, t-shirt, TV commercial, or, more likely, a website. Even if you don’t spend your working hours building wireframes and web page prototypes, it’s important to understand how your work will translate to the screen. If you’re working on an infographic for a client, did you know you could make that infographic interactive by partnering with a javascript developer? Learn more at WordCamp Atlanta!

All designers – As previously mentioned, a designer can become better with the skills of a talented team. The right network can make your ideas come to life. Join the attendees at WordCamp Atlanta and broaden your network of resources and talent. You never know when you’ll meet your next favorite copywriter, developer, or design partner!
