Flyer Design for Beginners workshop with Andrew Lynn
November 16, 2013 @ 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm EST
Do you feel like a clipart captive? Do you experience an irrational fear of fonts? Let’s work through your design dilemmas and learn to make interesting and attractive event materials using a mixture of media and whatever tools you have. Bring a current project and your laptop and get ready to make good graphics. We will learn software tricks and tips, but this is not a Photoshop class. After all, you can make stuff without a computer! In addition to such programs as Photoshop, Illustrator, Gimp and Word, we will also use scanners, photocopying, collage and hand illustration. In this workshop we will: view examples of the good and the bad; learn basic graphic design principles; create a clear visual message; work with different types of media; make multiple versions of a concept; review and critique each others’ work; develop and finalize a design for your project.
We are committed to lowering the barriers to access for events at The Sanctuary for Independent Media. For people who are hard of hearing or deaf, blind or low-vision, or whose physical limitations can interfere with a satisfying experience, let us know two weeks in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements.
