Sessions by topic area
Each session runs independently — no prerequisites required to join any single one.
Color Mixing on Screen — RGB, HSL, and What Actually Happens
Screen color behaves differently than paint. This session works through RGB and HSL models, showing exactly where designers make mixing errors and how small hue shifts change perceived temperature across a composition.
Contrast Ratios and WCAG — Reading the Numbers Correctly
WCAG contrast requirements are widely cited but frequently misunderstood. This session goes through the actual luminance formula, tests it against real UI examples, and shows how to stay accessible without draining color from your palette.
Palette Construction — From One Anchor Color to a Full System
Starting from a single brand color, participants build a structured palette using complementary and triadic relationships, then extend it into neutral and accent sets. The process is repeatable and works across product, print, and web contexts.
Cultural and Contextual Meaning in Color Choices
Color associations shift significantly across regions and cultural contexts. This session maps those differences with documented examples from East Asian, Middle Eastern, Western European, and post-Soviet design contexts — giving designers a practical reference for international work.
How these sessions are structured
Each webinar runs as a single focused block — no fluff, no extended intro sequences. The first 15 minutes cover the specific problem being addressed, followed by a working demonstration using real design files. Participants can follow along in their own tools or simply watch and take notes.
"The session on WCAG contrast gave me a framework I actually use now. Before it, I was guessing with eyedroppers. After it, I run the numbers first." — Participant from Kyiv
Questions are collected in writing during the session and answered in the final 20 minutes. This format keeps the flow intact while still addressing specific issues from the group. Recordings are made available to all registered participants within 24 hours.
"The palette construction session is one of the few times I have seen someone explain the relationship between saturation and perceived warmth without oversimplifying it."

Every webinar follows this sequence — so you know what to expect before you join.
Problem framing and context
The session opens with the specific design problem that motivated the topic. No biographical introductions, no generic warm-ups. You get the exact scenario — a broken palette, a failing contrast check, a culturally misread color — and then work backward from there.
Concept walkthrough with live examples
The core theory is explained through a working design file — not slides with bullet points. Color relationships, formula breakdowns, and historical references are shown in context. Participants see exactly how a concept applies to something they could encounter this week.
Guided practice segment
Participants apply the technique to a provided design prompt. This runs for about 20 minutes. There is no pressure to produce a finished result — the goal is to notice what happens when you actually try to apply the concept rather than just watching it demonstrated.
Written Q&A and session close
Questions submitted in writing during the session are answered in the final block. This format tends to produce better questions than open mic. The last few minutes cover what to read or try before the next session — concrete suggestions, not a reading list of entire books.
