All my workshops focus on developing young designers’ visual language. Today’s highly visual and consumerist culture demands a full working knowledge of the interaction between words and images. Whether it is producing a work report or marketing campaign, promotional website or applying for a promotion, images are pivotal in communicating ideas, persuading opinion, or engaging audiences.
Given the imperative need for young people to think creatively and ‘outside the box’ to solve challenging briefs, students will use professional graphic design software from the Adobe Creative Suite to explore composition, typography, colour and image development.
Whether your child is a creative type with a good eye for detail, interested in seeing what it would be like to work as a graphic designer, or simply want to design the way they like it, these workshops will inspire, delight and develop their skills, bringing their ideas to life!
