Your student has a fabulous opportunity to learn about great design from a seasoned graphics professional. We'll learn about fonts, font sizes, kerning, line spacing, color, photography, and graphics. This course will feature designs from Royalty-free sites and Canva. We'll go through the entire process from conception to finished piece. I'll instruct your student on the finer points of design and show what works and what doesn't. I will run a fun and interactive class with sharing of projects and stages along the way so that all students will be able to catch up when needed. I will be on camera the whole time demonstrating my drawing style, how I use Canva, and finished printed samples. No experience is necessary. Ask me for a coupon!
Learning Goals
They will design 1 or more greeting cards. If they have one card they want to work on, that's okay too. Templates will be used in class. No experience necessary.
