This is more than your standard how-to-use-a-design-program class, it's a project-based class — and I believe that's the best way to learn.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IN THIS CLASS YOU'LL:
<ul><li>Design a ready-to-print flyer or postcard that you're proud to show off and give to potential customers. </li>
<li>Learn InDesign basics and a few tricks – fonts with Typekit, color, importing images, page layout </li>
<li>Avoid the most common marketing, design, and production mistakes. </li>
<li>Get professional advice and feedback on your flyer or postcard as you work through it. </li>
<li>Save time by learning the things you really need to know in InDesign to create a fabulous looking flyer. (And skip over all the non-essentials.) </li>
<li>Learn to set up your file for printing and the basic printer specs and vocab</li>
</ul>⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
<ul><li>Adobe InDesign (begin a free trial <a href="https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/free-trial-download.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>)</li>
</ul>⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
THIS IS THE CLASS FOR YOU IF:
<ul><li>You need to create a great-looking flyer or postcard but don't have the funds to pay a professional designer to do it for you.  </li>
<li>You enjoy DIY'ing your marketing materials but would love a little hand holding and guidance. </li>
<li>You're an "accidental designer" and tired of struggling through your projects. (An accidental designer means you somehow became responsible for doing graphics at your workplace but it's not your official job title.)</li>
</ul>⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Makers, Solopreneurs, Marketers, Small Business Owners, Artists, Musicians, Interns, Event Promoters, Community Organizers – LET'S GET STARTED!
I am so excited to help you with your project!
