Welcome To An Epic Design Journey!

If you’re looking to be more confident in your design, to improve your design process, and come up with more compelling ideas, then this is the class for you!

In this master class, I’ll be taking you through a tried and tested professional poster design process, sharing the techniques and key steps I use and have observed in my design career of over 10 years!

In this class, we will cover some crucial steps:

1 - Review a design brief
2 - Undertake research and get inspiration
3 - Build a focused mood board
4 - Choose the right typefaces for our design
5 - Learn about the important grid types we can use in our design
6 - Learn how to generate ideas by sketching
7 - Use Adobe InDesign and Illustrator to create print-ready design
8 - Look at how we can present our design to clients and colleagues

After this class, you will be able to think like a pro and design bold and dynamic posters like a pro using InDesign or Illustrator to bring them to life super easily!

Get ready to blend craft, style, technology, and creativity as we transform our imagination into visually compelling posters.

Let’s get into it!
