Style Your Instagram Grid with Adobe InDesign

1. Introduction: [MUSIC] To find success as an artist, it is important to show your work. Sharing a curated selection of your artwork on Instagram that is representative of your signature style can help you attract your ideal customers and build your artist's brand. Hi, I'm Genna Blackburn, a surface designer and illustrator in Detroit, Michigan. I like to think of my style as a playful exploration of color and shape that stems from my background in graphic design. I believe that developing my signature style was one of the most impactful things that I've done to further my career as an artist. Looking back, I can identify a few turning points during my process of figuring out my style. The first turning point is covered in my class called, Develop Your Signature Style: Overcoming Obstacles with a 5-Day Art Challenge, where I talk about dealing with the fear of making bad art and other limiting mindsets that can get in your way of creating lots of art. The second turning point in my journey of developing my signature style was when I started planning my Instagram posts in Adobe InDesign, which is what I will cover in this class. When I took the time to gather my work and plan out how I was going to post it in a cohesive, beautiful way, it was eye-opening. I started to see what work fit together and what didn't. This helped me to lean into the signature style that was starting to form at that time. I started to attract more ideal clients and followers because I was being selective about the work I was sharing and making sure it was the type of work I wanted to do more of. In this class. I'll walk you through how to set up a template, and you'll learn the essential tools and panels of InDesign that are needed to import images, resize and move images around and work with color in Adobe InDesign. Then I'll give you my tips for analyzing your work so that you can style a balanced and refined Instagram grid. I love styling my Instagram grid in Adobe InDesign because I can easily make changes to colors, arrangement, and the cropping of artwork before exporting the final files to be uploaded to Instagram. InDesign works really well with both Photoshop and Illustrator files. You can incorporate a mix of vector and raster elements in your layout with ease. [MUSIC] This class is for complete beginners to Adobe InDesign, as well as creatives that may already know InDesign and want to learn how to use it to style their Instagram grid and refine their signature style. I'm excited to teach this class because I love Adobe InDesign and because I want to share this exercise that has been so beneficial for me. Let's get started. 2. Class Orientation: [MUSIC] Having a cohesive Instagram feed helps strengthen your brand as an artist, and attract your ideal clients and planning out my posts in advance and arranging them in a beautiful way has helped me to solidify my signature style. Putting all of my work together and analyzing it before posting, helped me to see what fit and what didn't, and what work I wanted to lean into and create more of. Adobe InDesign is a great tool for planning your posts, because you can easily make changes to colors, cropping, and arrangement before exporting final JPEGs to be uploaded to Instagram. The project for this class is to plan nine posts using a template we'll set up together in Adobe InDesign. This class project will be helpful to those that have never posted to Instagram, as well as those that already have a profile, but want to start being more deliberate about their posts. No prior knowledge of Adobe InDesign is required because you'll learn how to use the tools and panels of InDesign that are needed to curate your squares. I'll show you how to set up your InDesign template, and how to style your grid in the following lessons. Setting up the InDesign template, InDesign workspace, InDesign tools, and designing your grid. At the end of the class, I'll also be showing you how to export your squares, so that you can upload them to Instagram. For this class, you will need to have Adobe InDesign on your computer, and I suggest gathering some photos and artwork to plug into your document. Once you have styled nine squares using the template we will set up together, I'd love for you to upload it to the class project section of this class. I can't wait to see what you create. In the next lesson, I'll share why I love this planning process so much, how it's contributed to my success as an artist, and how planning my Instagram feed helped me solidify my signature style. 3. Signature Style & Instagram Planning: [MUSIC] Looking back on the development of my signature style, I can identify two major turning points. In my class called develop your signature style, overcoming obstacles with a five-day our challenge, I covered the first major turning point in my signature style journey, which was to change limiting mindsets in order to make lots of art. Once you have completed that class, you are ready to take things to the next level. In this class, you will learn the second major turning point in my signature style journey, which is how to analyze the art that you're creating by planning your Instagram grid and Adobe InDesign so that you can identify what represents the signature style you want to lean into and what doesn't. Before we jump into how to plan your posts in Adobe InDesign, I want to explain why this process has been so valuable to developing my signature style and why I'm so excited to share it with you. Before I started planning my Instagram posts in InDesign, I used to just post randomly and didn't think ahead or try to make sure that my posts were cohesive. I kept seeing other artists that had very beautiful feeds with posts that flow nicely together and created a strong sense of signature style, and that convinced me to get more deliberate about my posting on Instagram. The way I did that was to plan out several posts at a time before posting anything. First, I made a template in Adobe InDesign, gathered all of the work I'd made recently that I hadn't posted about, and dropped it into my document. I had a mix of things, animal illustrations, patterns, greeting cards, and wedding invitations. Some of the artwork was out in the world for sale and other pieces were made just for fun. When I dropped them all into my template and started moving things around and seeing what looked good together, I realized some things just didn't fit. At this point, I still wasn't quite sure what my signature style was, but through this process, I was starting to realize that my favorite work was very colorful and used a lot of flat graphic illustrations, and some other pieces that were more textured or complicated didn't seem to fit among the work that excited me. For instance, a wedding invitation I had made that was very intricate and monochromatic, just didn't fit that well among the other colorful graphic illustrations. I really wanted to promote that wedding invitation because it was for sale, but I ultimately decided to exclude it from my feed in order to preserve the consistency and cohesiveness of the overall aesthetic. It can be sad not to post every single thing you make and sell. But when I started to make these difficult decisions and curate my feed in order to strengthen my brand, my following began to grow and I started to attract my ideal clients. If you post work that you don't want to do more of, you may attract the wrong people that want you to make more of that work. Once I started realizing that some things didn't fit, it actually strengthened my signature style in the work I made moving forward, because it became more clear to me what represented the work I wanted to make more of and what didn't. With everything lined up, I could see that it was the flat, colorful illustration-based work that excited me, and that I did have a signature style starting to emerge. I started to make and share more of that type of work, and laying it all out in InDesign and being able to move pieces around, crop them, and change some of the colors on the fly within InDesign helped me to analyze what was a good representation of my signature style and what wasn't. Even now that I'm more confident in my signature style, I still find it useful when I create a new pattern or illustration to pop it into my Instagram InDesign template. Even if I don't plan to post it right away. There's something about seeing it among my other work that helps me tell if it's done or not and if it feels a good example of my signature style or if it needs more work. So to summarize, I'm a big fan of this process of planning my grid in InDesign and the value that it has brought me. [MUSIC] Let's do this. I'll meet you in the next lesson, where we'll start by setting up our InDesign template. 4. Setting Up the InDesign Template: [MUSIC] In this lesson, we'll make a three-by-three template, nine posts total in Adobe InDesign for the class project. Then I'll show you how to make a second template that is three by six,18 posts total, which is what I prefer to use on a day-to-day basis because it gives me a bit more room for planning. [MUSIC] Let's start by opening up Adobe InDesign and then we can make a new document by either clicking on "New File" up here or by going up to ''File", ''New Document" and then I'm going to name this file three-by-three Instagram template. I'm going to change the units to inches and then I'm going to make the page size 18 inches by 18 inches. Then I'm going to turn off facing pages. I'm going to make three columns with a column gutter of 0.5 inches, that's the space between the columns and then I'm going to give it a margin of one inch all the way around. Then we can go ahead and click ''Create". Now you can see we have these one-inch margins that we set up. We have the three columns and the column gutters, which is the space between the columns. Now I want to set up three rows so that we have nine boxes total. I'll go up to Layout, Create Guides and I'm going to do three rows with a gutter of 0.5. You want to make sure that you have fit guides to margins and not page because if you fit to page, it's going to disregard this one-inch margin that we've created all the way around. So you want to make sure you have fit guides to margins and then click ''Okay". Now we have nine boxes, and each box is five inches total and I found that this is a good size for exporting your JPEGs to upload to Instagram. It comes out to 1,500 by 1,500 pixels, which is, for me, a good size to post to Instagram. Now I want to make a second page in this document that's only five inches by five inches so that we can copy anything that we put in this page to that second page and export just that second page as a JPEG. I'm going to go down here in the Pages palette. Make sure you have your Pages palette open. We're going to click this button down here that will allow you to create a new page and then click this button that will let you edit the page size and we'll go to Custom and then we'll make it five inches by five inches. Then I'm going to take off the margins and columns on this page just because we don't need them. I'm going to go up to Layout, Margins and Columns. I'll make this zero and the number of columns one, and there we go. Now we have this clean five-by-five page and then up here we have our template with the nine squares. We can go ahead and click "Save". I'll go up to File, Save and I'm just going to save it to my Desktop. Now we're ready to create the second template. [MUSIC] Now that we've made the three-by-three template for the purpose of the class project, we'll make a three by six version for later use in case you want more room to plan. While we're still in our three-by-three template document, let's go up to File, Save As, and I'll call this a three by six Instagram template and I'll hit "Save". Now we'll come up to File, Document Setup and I'm going to change the height to 34.5. Now I just need to fix these rows. I'll go up to Layout, Create Guides and I'm going to click "Remove Existing Ruler Guides" so that we can start over and as long as you have preview checked, you can see the changes being made as you make them. Now we want six rows with a gutter of 0.5 and then click "Okay". Now we have 18 squares which can be really handy when you're planning your Instagram grid because sometimes you'll want to be able to see, maybe down here you'll have nine squares that have already been posted to Instagram and as you're planning your next nine, you want to see what is the most recent nine posts in your Instagram feed, so this gives you a little bit more room to play once you have done the class project of nine squares. [MUSIC] In the next lesson, I'll show you how to set up your InDesign workspace to look like mine for the purposes of following along in this class. 5. InDesign Workspace: [MUSIC] Now that we have our templates setup, I'll show you how to setup your workspace to look like mine in case you want to make it a bit easier to follow along in this class. The workspace is made up of the tools and panels that go around the outside of the art board. Your open document is shown in the center. The menus are at the top. The tool bar is along the left side, and then your panels are along the right side. I'm currently viewing the essentials workspace, which is a preset of certain panels. You can see if I go up to Window Workspace and change it to advanced, everything changes. The top changed, the right docked panels changed. I personally like the essentials workspace, and from there I like to customize it a bit by adding a few additional panels. I'm going to go up to Window Workspace Essentials and I'm going to reset essentials just because I've already added some things here. I want to start from the beginning with you so I'm going to reset my essentials workspace. Now to add a few extra panels, I'll go up to Window, layers. That will add the layers and Links panel and it automatically docs to the side over here. Then I'll go up to Window and add the stroke, which will add stroke and color. Then I'll go up to Window, color, and swatches, and that will add the swatches panel. This is basically the set up that I would like to use and I suggest using this setup for the purposes of following along in this class. [MUSIC] Now that your workspace is ready, let's talk about the tools of Adobe and design needed for this class. See you in the next lesson. 6. InDesign Tools: Now I'll show you how to use the tools and panels in InDesign that you will need for styling your squares. In this lesson, we'll cover adding color swatches, adding linked images, resizing images, and pasting vector artwork. [MUSIC] If you have some favorite colors that you'd like to use for your brand and your artwork, now is a good time to add them to the swatches panel for easy access. We'll open up the "Swatches" panel over here. I like to go to this "Menu" up here and click "Select All Unused" and then I hit "Delete" to get rid of all of the swatches that come with Adobe InDesign so that I can make my own. Now let's click on the flyout menu up here and go to "New Color Swatch". Then you can name with color value or you can uncheck this box and put in whatever name you want. I'm going to make a light pink and I'm going to keep it CMYK. I know the CMYK value for my favorite version of light pink is 20 magenta and 10 yellow. Then I'll click "Add". Then you can just keep doing this and adding as many swatches as you want. Go ahead and add as many swatches as you want to the swatches panel so that you have them to use in the following lessons. [MUSIC] To add outside files to your InDesign document like PSDs, JPEGs, and AI files, there are a few different ways to do it. The easiest way to do it for the purposes of our project is to make a box that fits to our grid and then fill it with artwork. To make a box, we're going to use the rectangle frame tool, which is over here in the left toolbar. If you hover over it, you can see that the keyboard shortcut for it is f. I'm going to select this tool. Then I'm going to make a box that goes from guide to guide. If we have Snap to Guides turned on, this should just snap very cleanly to the guides that we have set up. If it doesn't do this for you, go up to "View," "Grids and Guides" and make sure Snap to Guides has a checkmark next to it. Then once you have a box drawn and make sure it's selected, if it's not selected, use the selection tool up here at the top keyboard shortcut V to click on it and make sure it's selected. You can place an image inside of here. You can either go up to "File," "Place" or you can do Command D on a Mac, or Control D on a PC. Navigate to the image that you want to place. I have some images on my desktop that I've prepared and so I'm just going to open this and drop it right in there. This creates a link to an outside file and doesn't embed that file inside your document. If you move or edit that image outside of InDesign, it will need to be updated within InDesign. You can see all of the links that are inside your document by going to the "Links" panel, which is these two chains here up in the right panel. Now we can see that the JPEG that I dropped in is being linked to from the desktop. It tells you where you're linking to. If I was to make a change to this file, I would get an alert over here telling me that I needed to update it or fix the link. Then you can do that with these controls down here at the bottom. Another way to add artwork to a box, let me just undo that. I've got my empty rectangle frame tool here, is to drag a file from a folder on your computer. If I were to grab this image from my desktop, I could drag it in as well. There's two different ways to do it. [MUSIC] Once you've placed an image inside of a box, you will need to be able to move it around and resize it within the box. To do this, we'll use the selection tool, which is the first tool in the top left of the toolbar, it's the black arrow, keyboard shortcut V. This tool allows you to grab the entire bounding box and move it around. I can grab it and move it to a different spot. It also allows me to re-size the contents by double-clicking. If I double-click, I can grab the contents of the box and move it. If we don't hold down any keys on our keyboard, we might accidentally stretch the image out. Let me undo with Command Z on a Mac or Control Z on a PC. I'm going to hold down some keys on my keyboard to constrain the proportions. To simply keep the proportions, hold down "Shift" while you resize. Now you can see that I have kept the proportions and then when this little hand comes up, I can move the image around within the bounding box. To keep the proportions and resize from center hold down "Shift" and "Option" on a Mac or Shift and Alt on a PC. This will allow you to resize and keep the proportions and resize from center. By default, you will probably have the content grabber turned on, which is the circle that appears when you hover over a box. I currently have mine turned off, so let me show you how to turn it on. It's under "View", "Extras" "Show Content Grabber". By default, I think the Content Grabber is turned on. You will have this circle that comes up and the little hand icon will come up and you'll be able to just move it around without double-clicking inside of the box with the Selection Tool. But I find this a little bit annoying because sometimes I just want to grab the box and move it and instead I grab the contents and move that. I'd like to turn that off by going up to "View," "Extras," "Hide Content Grabber" because it's double-clicking to me isn't that much more work and it's just easier than accidentally grabbing the wrong thing. [MUSIC] Because Adobe InDesign supports vector artwork, sometimes if you have a simple vector illustration, it can be handy to just copy and paste that directly into InDesign rather than linking to it from an outside file. I have this Illustrator file on my desktop with this little tiger illustration and he's vector. We know this by, if you zoom in, you can see the little points that make him up, which means he's a vector file. I can just Copy it with Command C on a Mac or Control C on a PC. Then go back to InDesign and paste him directly into the document with Command V on a Mac or Control V on a PC. Now he is not linked. You can see he didn't show up in the links panel over here. He's just directly in the InDesign file and he's retained his vector qualities. If we zoom in, you can see that he still has all his vector points. If we wanted to, we could make changes to him directly in the InDesign file, which can be really handy. [MUSIC] Now that you know how to add artwork to your document, fill your grid with art and photos. Don't think too hard about where you're putting them in the various squares at this point, just add some items so we have something to work with in the following lesson. Next up, we'll analyze the squares and make adjustments to make everything cohesive and intentional. 7. Designing Your Grid: [MUSIC] Now that you know how to use the tools of InDesign that are needed for the class project, let's talk about how you can use them to make changes to your artwork within InDesign, and then I'll share my tips for making a beautiful, cohesive grid that showcases your signature style. [MUSIC] Three ways to use the tools of Adobe InDesign while you're planning your grid are: number 1, use the direct selection tool to change the colors of vector illustrations. The direct selection tool is this second arrow down here, keyboard shortcut A. You can use that to select the different parts of a vector image and change the colors with your swatches panel. I can click on the background of this illustration and change the color, I can click on the different parts of the illustration and change the color. That's one way. I'm going to undo that with Command Z on a Mac or Ctrl Z on a PC. Number 2, use the selection tool to move images and change the cropping. You can use the top arrow, the selection tool keyboard shortcut V, to move entire images around and to change the crapping by double-clicking on the box and grabbing the corners. Number 3, you can use the keyboard shortcut W to hide and show the area outside of the art board. If I hit W on my keyboard right now, I'm going to be able to see all of these extra images on the outside of the art board and sometimes it's really nice to have some extra images here that you can play with swapping in and out as you're making adjustments to your grid. I really like being able to just hit W again and hide all of that extra steps so that I can preview my grid in a very clean way. [MUSIC] Now let's talk about how to make a beautiful cohesive Instagram grid using signature style, repetition, complexity, variety, color, and cropping. [MUSIC] I have a bunch of images here that I've dropped in so that I can demonstrate this for you. Before I go any further, I'm going to make a copy of this page just so that we can compare the final result to this original grid. To make a copy of a page, hold down Option on a Mac or Alt on a PC while you click and drag a page in your pages panel. Now I have two copies of this page with the content on it. I'll double-click on the top one to make sure that we're looking at the top page as we're working. The first thing I like to do when analyzing my grid is to look for things that don't represent my signature style. When I look at all these images lined up, there are a few things that don't quite fit in my opinion. Most of the images here are colorful and use flat graphic shapes. For instance, this image is very clean, the edges of this slot are very clean, and then some images are a little bit more complex, like this pansies image here was made with markers and there's more texture compared to some of the other images. This wedding invitation here is using not very much color at all and it has more detail in it than some of the other surrounding images. This image up here is also very complex and not very colorful compared to some of the other images. I would probably recommend taking out all three of these. [MUSIC] Now that I have a few holes to fill, I could find other artwork to put here, or I could take elements from other posts and make additional posts out of it. For instance, this mock-up of fabric down here has this caterpillar pattern. I could take the caterpillars out from that pattern and make its own post. I could also take this little butterfly from this pattern here and make that its own post, and then I could take one of the tigers from this pattern here and make that its own post. If you sprinkle these similar images in your feed near each other, but maybe not directly next to each other, this repetition will give the viewer a sense of cohesiveness across the feed as well as giving you more content to post. [MUSIC] Another thing I like to consider when I'm planning my Instagram grid is how simple or complex an image is. I personally don't like to put multiple complex or busy images next to each other, so I'll space them out with more simple images or illustrations. For instance, I don't like to put two patterns next to each other, so I might switch this tiger pattern and tiger illustration so that these two images that were very busy aren't right next to each other. Then maybe I'll switch this cactus pattern and this sloth so that this cactus pattern and this tiger pattern aren't right next to each other. [MUSIC] I like to post a variety of images, for example, illustrations, patterns, mockups, photos of products, photos of me, etc, and I like to spread them out. I won't usually post multiple patterns next to each other, or multiple mockups or photos. This right here is a photo of an iPad and here's a photo of me. I could just easily switch this photo with this pattern and just give that a little bit more space so that I don't have so many photos right next to each other. Also, a good rule of thumb is to include a photo of your face in every nine squares of your feed so that no matter when someone's coming to your feed, there'll be able to connect with you. I like to include one head shot in about every nine photos or so. [MUSIC] I try to make sure the color is balanced among my posts. I tend to use a pretty specific color palette in my work. For me, this isn't hard to achieve, but sometimes I do have to make adjustments to some colors to give the overall feed a very deliberate and balanced feel. For instance, this cactus pattern uses quite a bit of pink and there isn't really that much pink represented in the rest of the grid. Maybe I'll make this tiger pattern like pink, the background since there's a lot of yellow right here. I'll select the background with the direct selection tool, keyboard shortcut A, and I'll open my swatches palette, and I'll pick this light pink. Then this red background on this sloth feels very heavy next to these other images. I might select that and change it to a light blue. I'll select the background with the direct selection tool. Then to change to a color that's already in use on your art board, you can select the Eyedropper in this toolbar and then click on the color you want to pick up. Then I'll switch back to the direct selection tool by hitting A on my keyboard. Now there are too many images with a light blue background, so I'm going to change the butterfly to a light yellow and I'm going to change the caterpillars to a cream color. Now this light yellow and the cream feel a little too similar, so I'm going to, with the selection tool, keyboard shortcut V, I'm going to switch the caterpillars and the tiger so that this cream background and this yellow background aren't so close together. This photo of me here is working okay, but it's a little bit busy with all the different colors. I'm going to swap in this other photo of me that's a little bit more simple and has this nice pop of yellow on the scarf that pulls out the yellow from the other images surrounding it. [MUSIC] One more thing I'd like to do to achieve balance is to play with the cropping of photos and patterns to see how that affects the overall look of the grid. Sometimes cropping in on a pattern can change the feel of the overall image, making it more balanced next to the images around it, and perhaps including more whitespace around some of the spot illustrations would look nice next to a busier pattern. I'm going to crop in on this tiger pattern because it's very busy right now and very small. I'm going to double-click on it using the selection tool. Then I'll resize it by holding down Shift and Option on a Mac or Shift and Alt on a PC and that will allow me to constrain the proportions and resize from center. Then I can move it around a little bit with this hand icon that pops up if I want to change it a little bit or resize it a little bit more. I'll do the same thing with the sloth. I'm going to make him a little bit smaller to give him a little bit more margin around the outside. Then I think I'll crop in on this cactus pattern a little bit to just make that. For this, I need to hold down Shift, Option, and Command because this is a group of vector pieces. I'm going to hold down Shift, Option, Command on a Mac or Shift, Alt, Ctrl on a PC. That worked better. That looks nice. I think making these adjustments to the size has helped a little bit. Now if we compare the first grid before I made any adjustments, this was the original to the new one, I think this new one looks a lot more balanced. Again, here's the original. There's some things that are sticking out to me that don't really feel balanced. The red background here, some of these images that don't maybe fit as well, and a lot of business down here. Now when we click over to this new one, I think this looks a lot more balanced and pleasing to the eye. Now these images are ready to be posted to Instagram, starting with the bottom right and moving towards the top left. Just in the way that Instagram works, you would post this one first and then this one and then this one and so forth. Then you would end up with this grid in your feed. [MUSIC] Now that I've shown you my tips for creating a cohesive feed, analyze the images you've dropped into your grid with these tips in mind and make adjustments until you have a grid of nine images that look cohesive and balanced. In the next lesson, I'll show you how to export your finished grid so you can share it in the class projects section of this class. [MUSIC] 8. Exporting Your Class Project: [MUSIC] In this lesson, I'll show you how to export your finished three-by-three grid from InDesign so you can share it with the class. To export an image of this first page of our template with the finished grid, go up to File, Export or Command E on a Mac or Control E on a PC, and pick which file format you want. For the purposes of this class project a JPEG will work nicely. Navigate to where you want to save it, and then I'll click "Save". For range, I'm going to pick Page 1 because I know Page 1 is where the finished grid is. Then the default options down here should be fine. For quality, I have maximum resolution, I have 300, and color space RGB. Then I'll click "Export". Now I can take the final JPEG that I've saved and upload it to the class project tab of the class. [MUSIC] In the next lesson, I'll show you how to export one square for posting to Instagram. 9. Exporting a Square for Instagram: [MUSIC] In this lesson, I'll show you how to export a square from InDesign so you can post it to Instagram. Now, if I want to export one of these squares as a JPEG to upload to Instagram, I can copy it and paste it onto what is now page 3 because I made the copy of the full grid. So we have page 1 is the new grid, page 2 is the old grid, and page 3 is now this solo five-inch-by-five-inch square. I'll go back up to page 1 by double-clicking on it, and I can copy one of the squares by using the selection tool and dragging over top of it or just clicking on it, and then I'll hit "Command-C" on a Mac or "Control-C" on a PC. Then I can either scroll down to this page or I can double-click on the page in the Pages panel, and then I'll hit "Command-V" to paste it or "Command-V" on a Mac or "Control-V" on a PC, and center it on there. Now I can go up to File, Export, and I'll name this caterpillars. You can pick JPEG or PNG. Sometimes I like to pick a PNG for uploading to Instagram. I find sometimes the quality is just a little bit better. Hit "Save". Now for range, I'll pick page 3 because I know that the caterpillars is on page 3. Then I'll leave the default settings here: quality, high; 300 ppi; color space, RGB, and I'll hit "Export". [MUSIC] Now you can post that file to Instagram. 10. Conclusion: [MUSIC] Congratulations on completing this class. I hope you now feel confident navigating the basic tools of Adobe InDesign so that you can have fun designing and planning your Instagram grid. I hope you can see how beneficial it can be to take this time to analyze your own work in order to solidify your signature style and strengthen your artist's brand.

If you have any questions, you can ask them on the discussions page of the class, and if you like this class, hit the follow button by my name and please leave a review I'd love to hear what you think of the class. Finally, I'd love for you to share your styled three-by-three grid here on the class project tab. I can't wait to see what you create.
