⭐New to Outschool? Send me a message before you enroll!!!⭐ Have you ever dreamed of being a famous youtube personality? Creating a T-shirt design company? Marketing a skateboard business? No matter what kind of business you're creating, today's entrepreneurs are more successful if they know about graphic design! This is a one-time crash course in collateral design for students who have previously attended either Graphic Design Boot Camp or Graphic Design for Beginners and created a logo. We will use the logo students created in the previous class to generate professional-looking collateral for their business (real or imagined!) Piece of Collateral may include: * Coupons * Event Invitations * Business Cards * Animated Social Media Ads The class will open with introductions. Students will show their logo and explain their brand identity. Then, we'll review graphic design concepts and marketing strategies as these topics relate to the students' business ideas. The teacher will review how to use Canva templates to build upon graphic design concepts and customize collateral to promote a business. The class will close with a final critique where students share their work, check that their collateral follows basic graphic design concepts, and look for ways to improve. Students will need a parent to open an account at Canva.com and, if you use an iPad or phone, install the app. Students MUST either be logged into the same device for Canva as Zoom, or have an alternate way to share their digital work live in class. #creative ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL): Class is appropriate for (CEFR: A2, B1, B2, C1, C2) Please message me to let me know if your learner is A2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PREREQUISITE: Students MUST have designed their own custom logo in one of my classes.

I hold a Bachelors in Fine Art from Virginia Tech and a Masters in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University. I taught digital art to undergraduate pre-service art teachers as an adjust professor at VCU and as a public high school teacher; now I enjoy teaching digital art to students online. I love teaching drawing, painting, sculpture and Photoshop to learners of all ages. I've been teaching for 20+ years and running my own piano studio for 10+ years. There's a special place in my heart for creative works and the artists that make them, especially fantasy stories and narrative artworks, comics and graphic novels.Reviews
