BRIEF HISTORY OF WEB DESIGN: Free Web Design Course | Episode 3

[@joshualumicao352]

You know you care about what you do, when you do a course on it’s history 🥰🥰🥰

[@FluxAcademy]

thanks 😅

[@eb4416]

When I was way younger I hated the history part of lessons because I was eager to dig right into the practical part of the subject. But while learning more and more about it I was even more interested in the history part of it. So I now view the history of a subject as a great motivational aspect of the specific subject. Great job there! Loved that one!

[@fatimachaker2038]

Please make this series a daily one because it's so useful and your voice is so calming I like learning from you and I can't wait for the next episodes 🌸

[@FluxAcademy]

Oh I wish I could! Making the videos as fast as I can

[@fatimachaker2038]

Sorry I thought you already prepared the videos before uploading them.. Thank you again😍

[@johnwellevanchez8057]

I always start my Computer Lessons with a little bit of history of the application or Programming Language that we are about to study. It is true that we need to know where we came from and what happened before us so we can really understand the context at present and in the future. Glad to watch this content. Thanks Ran!

[@matatmat]

I am just so overwhelmed of KZbin. I have been paying attention to the content that’s been churning out and just so grateful that we have this information in front of our thumbs on demand for free. Thank you sincerely for this.

[@colorofboom382]

Hey Ran, I've followed your journey since the beginning and have enjoyed watching this new series. Thank you so much for making quality content and being part of a sharing culture. I look forward to more!

[@FluxAcademy]

Appreciate you sticking around Tiffany 🙌

[@LeisureLizard]

Wow, this was so interesting. I would not have thought the history would be so relevant to understanding modern graphic design but you really brought them together in a pertinent way.

[@indigo0086]

This is great, I lived through the evolution of changing design, but never thought of the reactionary aspect of it, now I can't unsee it.

[@bjsmithart]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I built my first website in 1995. It’s worth noting that those late 90s- early 00s sites were so crowded because people didn’t like to scroll. Everything had to be “above the fold” and business owners couldn’t decide what was important so they put everything there 😂. Thank goodness that all changed with mobile devices and people got used to scrolling.

[@aprovisuals2233]

😂

[@heatherjohnson333]

I'm starting a certification in web design at DeVry in a month. Your free courses are exactly what I needed to prepare me. Thank you!

[@tonmoykarmoker1900]

I was listening to each of the words you talked and nothing boring there. I feel so excited to learn those histories and newer information about Web design. Eagerly waiting for your next video. I will watch it again and again. Thanks for bringing us this lovely tutorial.

[@FluxAcademy]

Means a lot to hear that Tonmoy 🙌

[@giovannavw275]

I met David Carson last year at OFFF. He closed it and it was amazing! He even stayed with some of us taking pics and assigning! He is so humble and funny! A living legend

[@giovannavw275]

*signing

[@FluxAcademy]

Wow! Sounds epic!

[@nielslassen5220]

Absolutely amazing course. Binge watching right now. Thank you from my heart

[@NandoDevlop]

Now the web design will change again, with the web 3.0 and the Metaverse I'm sure 3D is going to be the new trend in web.

[@katarzynamrowczynska6510]

Thanks for the great Video. I had been listening to podcasts about art, and Alfons Mucha, who was the pioneer of art nouveau, got rejected from a fine art university in the Czech Republic before he came to Paris. Great things come from people who don't let other people stop them from doing great things :) I am going to binge watch your channel, thanks for the great content :)

[@denmarhouse5370]

hi there i know I'm like 3 years behind but so far i like your teaching .and the fact that its for free helps me allot ,because currently i don't have the funds to pay for studies. God bless you

[@FluxAcademy]

You're very welcome!

[@crooker2]

I built my first website in 1997 and studied web design in 1999. Talk about ancient history!! Css is so ingrained in our workflow now, I can't even remember how html formatting worked back then.

[@moe-nl9sf]

One of the few online courses on KZbin that I find really helpful. Thank you so much for this!

[@betweenlayers4128]

Thanks for this brief and at the same time structured presentation of history. Finally, I got that instead of trying to memorize art styles and their distinctive features I can take a look at social context, and see how pendulum swings from one point to another - from realism to minimalism, from skeuomorphism to flat design and back to neomorphism.

[@kimberlystrat4418]

Hey Ran! This was a great intro in the history of web design - love that you added in accessibility at the end - that's what I want to focus on and hopefully make a career out of as i continue to learn skills to become a web designer!

[@junghyunlee4127]

I do appreciate your clear information of history of web design!!

[@CrashTheComet]

I like how I learned more about graphic design from this course than all of what I did in college.

[@mauromattos00]

Timeless content, Ran! Thank you so much for this!

[@tobiasschumacher6762]

Hello Ran, I am so grateful for this awesome course, where you teach us so much valuable knowledge for free. I think this course already changed the way I think about Webdesign( for example related to history of webdesign or seeing the correlation between many tools). Please keep on making, keep on expanding this courses’ content:)!

[@Codehood]

One of the best introduction to art, and web design history. Liked it much especially how the web looked like in the early days.

[@kerim4973]

please keep up the good work, im so excited about every new video in this series, love from Slovakia!❤️

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks Kerim!

[@EdgarAntonioHez]

What a wonderful unique approach to teaching, this is already very different from many alternatives.

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks! Happy to hear!

[@droy589]

The background history was very much needed. You have explained it so well with examples.

[@copratwtran9169]

Great series ! Look through history, people tend to create things that react to surroundings and make them easier to understand all the time.

[@NinaRogoff]

Interesting to hear about the development of graphic art design. I really appreciate what you said about not letting all the new, cool and developing technology overpower the need for good, easy to read design.

[@thomasconrad2729]

I have been an instructor in various venues. You sir are an excellent instructor.

[@AlexPresa]

Thanks so much Ran for this! I love history and I do agree that its important to know the past in order to create a better future! Keep up the amazing, valuable and easily consumable content! :)

[@whoiswho3714]

The history of what you want to learn, no matter what is that, could really be helpful. I didn't expect to see The web design history. tnx. It was great.

[@SayJee]

2030: Web Hologram Design.

[@FluxAcademy]

Boom 🤯

[@Trazynn]

Not too far from the VR interfaces people need now.

[@giovannavw275]

It's already here

[@chococandy8009]

Interested!❣

[@bendavies6545]

you will own nothing and youll be happy 👹

[@pamelaweaver-f6y]

Took art history and I still have a pretty even take on sll it it. There isn't a favorite that stands out from the rest. I can find something that fascinates me at every period of time in art history.

[@alexaristidou1990]

I pretty much like all the web designs through out the years, we wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for the original designs, that's evolution.

[@johansmolinski1982]

The 90'th design characteristics always puts a smile on my face. Why? Because I was there, creating those gifs that didn't match the background color, animating text with the marquee and blink tags, putting it all together in frames and/or tables. Unfortunately, that's where I still am today. Your videos are great, helping me getting out of this old smelly box of legacy. Thanks!

[@wuordem]

I am sure your skill has great value, just needs a little upgrade. There is always a special trend in design and web design, that mixes the old school design with new trends. Check Sea Punk, brutalism. Also, in japan they are using their old web style design and programming since from beginning. Check them also, maybe with some classes, you can find your skills appreciated and needed on their market. We can learn new things at any age.

[@katymurta]

I love LOVE the Art Nouveau period. Maybe not for web design but for illustration....I LOVE Mucha and his work....

[@creativereflux4336]

Nice Intro! Thanks for making this video!

[@FelipeMartins14]

I loved this class, particularly

[@tochidioka6019]

Wow! This was such a beautiful rundown! I feel so bad that I’m just getting to watch this 2 years later. If I had watched this and practiced during the lockdown, I will not be where I am today. 😢

[@godwin_njoroge]

Have this series pinned to my tabs now haha. My favorite period has to be the Swiss Design one. This was really interesting and fun to learn. Thank you Ran!

[@darshan7771]

Swiss design? Could you tell me more?

[@tamarathompson4369]

My favorite was Noueauv and Grunge yet I love the consistency

[@jaimix31792]

The my fav and most helpful KZbinr. Please keep it up and look forward to the next class 🔥🔥

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks Michael!

[@azpidi]

Just started this. Really enjoying the course so far

[@jayaverma3088]

This Episode was very insightful

[@fishintokyo9808]

Thank you for creating this! Lately, I am more leaning into web design and shifting from finance. I found this very helpful! I think the minimal web designs are better for me.

[@biggpappa2966]

Its quite true if you dont know the history you can't understand the present. Thanks for your video..lots of important information about the subject Buenos 👌 ❤

[@chococandy8009]

Thank you for making this course sir. Really we are lucky to watch these videos for free:)

[@dani-ev6qz]

This was a great informative video. It's probably because Im used to seeing modern designs for websites today but I like a good minimalist but with a little bit of dynamic element to it kind of websites.

[@estofidelis1510]

Great content, Ran. Thank you and please keep it up.

[@TravisNeilson]

Ran, I loved this video. Sharing it with everyone I know ❤

[@ngozianthony2441]

Great work Bro....the world need more people like you...you inspire me a great deal....was wondering if you released episode 4 and 5 already.

[@sauravk865]

Thanks for making the course free.

[@EsmeraldaErnesto]

Thank you so much for offering this free course!

[@annylg1]

Thanks, great video! About your question, I like Bauhaus graphic designs because that school incorporated minimalism, geometric shapes, and simplistic.

[@Diego-jh2gh]

Amazing Video Ran!!! The only history class that I pay a lot of attention 😁

[@chrismcmorrow9738]

Hi, Ran. Very insightful. Really appreciate your depth of historical knowledge. Let me say that, while I do appreciate beautiful, symmetric design, I often wonder how the owners of these platforms can make a sale when viewers are distracted by all of those on-screen moving parts. Sure do appreciate your course. Thank you so much.

[@ivansostarec2564]

why would anyone dislike this???.....

[@hudaibrahim2424]

I really like it and thank you so much for teaching us the web design

[@RafiNori91]

Hey Ran, this is amazing stuff! Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge!

[@FluxAcademy]

Happy to!

[@theohristov5618]

Definitely Apple. I'm surprised on how minimalistic they were already in that time. They were wayy ahead of their future

[@HanSelah]

Really loved this!

[@akay4670]

0:38 wow that is some philosophy there, not limited to web design but to our existence as well.

[@Uxarif]

The best I've ever seen web design class ❤️❤️❤️ I am your students thanks for gave a awesome info .

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks Arif!!

[@pastorrandy]

Thanks. Great summation and tying together the past and the present.

[@kebman]

Fav period: Art Nuveau. I also like the more industrial look of Art Deco. I love the fast trains, plains and Monopoly style designs lol. But I also love the flowery designs of AN. I'm also into the Vienna Secession (Gustav Klimt and the guys). Not sure if I'll ever bother making something like that in web design tho. It's sadly far easier to go for Bahaus lol.

[@ColorFontApp]

Thanks for putting out great info Ran!

[@FluxAcademy]

My pleasure!

[@joycecristobal580]

Hey nice content. I really enjoyed your work. Good job! ☺️

[@danieltugga4263]

Thanks for this free course, I am learning a lot

[@humancat7590]

art nouveau and other article made this video interesting

[@SaddamHusain-fu4md]

Honestly, like 2020 and I am very lucky to be a part of 2020 and great to be here with FLUX.

[@meghasaxena1625]

Thanks for making this course

[@manuxgp]

I came late.... Thanks a lot for the amazing work. I like history although I don't read a lot. I need to up my game and start reading more.

[@realfingertrouble]

I designed through most of those later periods - starting in the mid 90's via Geocities, Flash, CSS 1-3, After Effects/Video integration etc. - a lot of that commercially. But now I just design for fun for my own sites via Wordpress and Gutenberg/FSE. I agree the clean look has made a major comeback...good cos it was getting a bit much all these people doing crazy stuff with HTML5. Animation should be discrete and minimal or have a reason.

[@framebasedesign]

zing zing it's amazing bro (fav period now)

[@Ddos2212]

I love the intro

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks! Wonderful work from Nik, best editor ever!

[@l.pauladunn2351]

Like animation and interactive design but love Art Nouveau

[@nanakonadu434]

Love the video well done.❤

[@rrwriting]

Zune literally nailed it. It looks like a website that can still be considered modern.

[@alifarshi8699]

Cool video bro tnx for this course.

[@nithyasridharan9066]

2007 was my best web design period

[@younlogiudice7244]

Really appreciating the content! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us :)

Thank you so much for this video❤

[@utpalmondal5610]

Great Ran sir, be continue with free webdesign course

[@FluxAcademy]

Will do!

[@PatrickChisanga-pt1pb]

Powerful messages

[@PatrickChisanga-pt1pb]

Wonderful message

[@cybevamp]

I really dont know what I want to do..do I work on my html css js skills or should I just work on adobe xd and figma and learn to "make" it dynamic with web flow???

[@ShyNNeRnNR]

Do you want to develop applications or design them? You can’t build software with complex business logic using web flow. Although both skills are highly demand, so choose whatever you feel more comfortable working with.

[@geraldgeraffe2209]

Are you better at art or at math? is a good question to ask as a starting point. Real-world programming takes a lot of logical superpower, design takes a lot of artistic talent.

[@rafikimaskCode]

I loved it!

[@FluxAcademy]

I loved it too. ;)

[@DeadFalkor]

Great course. I subbed!

[@Nevarek_]

Accessibility is a good way forward for web design. Can't argue with that. I actually get a bit frustrated with in-page popups now, especially when they come up when I'm reading something and have the tiniest close button I've ever seen or I have to scroll around to play "find the close button" because of poor mobile formatting. It must improve metrics of some kind, which is why it's so popular, but it ruins the experience for me and is ultimately distracting. This is especially notorious now with different implementations of GDPR compliance being so inconsistent/unfamiliar and configurations that are way too dense. Add in poorly-implemented layouts for ad placements (jumping/resizing/jitter/obscured parts of the content/forced formatting) and you just have a non-functional web page. Way too many elements can take away from the experience and make it more difficult to view content (and ultimately cause me to leave to find something else). It almost feels like UX has taken steps backward in this regard. I can't imagine the frustration of someone with less dexterity trying to navigate some of these pages. I would not blame them if they left, because I'd do the same.

[@Jeneva99]

i just started to take your course

[@Ik29911]

Excellent Video.

[@alandsnoor4269]

great job well done

[@wesfrance1]

2040 the V.R. and A.R. Web Design, just kidding : ) ...I liked a couple of them. The Swiss of the 1954 and also the Grunge Style were the best ones, I think. I'd love to mix those two together.
