This course is an online workshop for sharpening your portfolio and graphic design skills, where we examine and discover what makes an effective design solution. Whether you're a professional looking to improve your profile, or just starting to explore design, students will find the class projects and group critiques challenging and engaging. The methods and principles covered can apply to creating portfolio pieces or solve any design problem-from traditional graphics (covers, posters, editorial) to branding and advertising (logos, identity systems, campaigns) to multichannel digital executions (social, motion, video and experience design). We explore approaches for creating work with both visual and conceptual impact-eye-catching beauty as well as powerful ideas-style and substance. A step-by-step method for generating fresh concepts will be introduced and developed. Techniques for creating a harmonious, integrated relationship between typography and image elements will be emphasized.
