The aim of this class is to help you create a unique piece of wall art for your own home, or to gift to someone special in your life. You’ll be learning four big principles to help make your text poster look polished, eye-catching and worthy of showing off!!

Gear you’ll need:

Computer
Pencil and paper for planning stage
Design or art software: Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape

The project is to create your own print-ready text poster design. Download the guide detailing each stage and follow along with the lessons to complete these project milestones:

Brainstorming
Research / inspiration
Workspace setup
Typeface
Hierarchy
Negative Space
Alignment
Colour
Exporting

Once your project is finished, upload it as either a low resolution jpg or pdf by clicking on ‘Create Project’ in the Projects & Resources tab. Pay attention to hierarchy and composition which support the special meaning behind your poster’s wording.

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, and I really hope you enjoy the process!
