Get your design brain going and explore a new way to express yourself with designer Sophia Yeshi’s fun and approachable class!
Join Sophia in a constructive and charming class that breaks down the fundamentals of graphic design and sets you up with a brand new set of tools for your creative expression. Sophia’s art is bold, unapologetic, colorful, and gorgeous to look at — and much of the time her inspiration comes from her own feelings and her interest in the world around her.
Alongside Sophia, you’ll learn everything you need to know about graphic design and several things you may not have known about yourself — what colors you’re drawn to, what kind of quotes you find invigorating or inspiring, or your latent obsession with any and all fonts.
Lessons include:
— A behind-the-scenes look into Sophia’s inspiration and reference process
— Exploration into how to develop palettes that express emotion
— Several tips and tricks for fun and interesting Adobe Illustrator effects
By the end of the class, you’ll have at least one completed typographic design and a whole new medium of creative expression, one that you’ll return to again and again.
