Playful Curb Appeal: Industrial Design 101 - March 21st @1PM ET

When you drive by a playground, what makes you take a second look? In this course, you will learn what allure draws observers, dissecting aesthetics' impact on emotions and design. We will explore the impact of color, line, tone, texture, scent, sound, and image. Dive deeply into the elements that explain why the visual impact of your play pieces is as important as the equipment itself.  Learn to harmonize visual appeal with child development and community engagement in playground design. Elevate your skills to create captivating, well-balanced play environments.

Upon completing this course you'll be able to:

  • Define the 3 fundamental layers of design and how they correspond to the end-user experience.

  • Describe how color affects our perception of a product.

  • Describe how industrial/aesthetic design impacts an overall play experience and, ultimately, your (or your client’s) brand.
