Sample redesign project

In this 4hr session, you’ll learn the basics of art and design as taught to graphic artists and other media professionals yet tailored to users of basic desktop publishing tools. Get familiar with the basics of typography, the fundamentals of page layout, the technical side to achieve balance between a paragraph and graphic images within your document, and above all, learn how to insert, crop, rotate and manipulate photos to enhance the “Call to Action” in your communication piece.

Design your own marketing materials

Enhance the look of your business plan, press release, and sales presentation. Get answers on what to look for in paper selection, color management, online sources for royalty free pictures and more. Even if you find that desktop publishing isn’t your thing, you will learn what to ask for and what to expect from your graphic designer or printer.

“The reality is, there isn’t a lesson learned that doesn’t come with a price. We all have talents in distinct areas therefore a time will come when we need to ask for help in order to connect the dots to success. My goals are to create the means to allow business owners to Inform, Educate, and Connect with their target audience.”
