About the Talk
------------------------------------------------------------------
Doing ‘design work’ is never as simple as it seems. Most designs
entail many rounds of revisions, and require peeling back layer after
layer of your work. It’s rare to nail a design on your first try.

Kevin Tamura will walk you through his redesign of the forthcoming
Seattle Refresh website—from initial comps to finished design.

About the Speaker
------------------------------------------------------------------

Kevin Tamura published his first website in 1996. It was crude and
done with Adobe PageMill. He quickly learned the limitations of
WYSIWYG editors and began coding by hand, as well as learning HTML
properly. His second site gained praise from the web community and was
featured in the book Cutting Edge Web Design, the Next Generation. He
hasn’t looked back since then.

After receiving his bachelor’s degree in Communication Design from
California State University, Chico, Kevin headed up to Seattle and
began working for PhotoDisc/Getty Images. Feeling the need to devote
more time to designing for the internet and less on print, Kevin left
to join the dot com boom on the eve of the bust. Oh well.

Since then he has provided creative solutions for a variety of
clients, large and small, and continued to earn praise from his peers.
He has had the opportunity to work on some great projects including
work for Nordstrom.com MSN Money, Cranium and eRequester, and has met
some great people along the way.

After the Talk
------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't forget that we all head over to Doc Watsons for food and
drinks after every Refresh Seattle talk. Hope to see you there!
