Create your first printable art design.

You can use this lesson and project to help you to create your first digital art print! By the time you've completed this class, you'll have accomplished the exercise of creating a simple design from scratch.

In this step-by-step class, together, we will:

Find free graphics & fonts to use for your design following guidelines that allow for commercial use.
Create the design using two different design platforms - for free. This is meant to offer you a couple of options - especially when it comes to transparent backgrounds.
Create a mockup of your design that will feature your design in a flattering and fun light to help buyers see how it'll look framed and in their home.
Resize your image to offer a couple of variations to your buyers.
Create a high resolution, print-ready version of the design - resizing it to a 300 DPI (dots per inch) version for your listing upload.

This is a beginner level. No previous skills required.

You'll upload your design here where we can all offer feedback and suggestions to help one another grow, learn and succeed.
