Graphic Design for Good: Design a Personal Manifesto

Design is all about using creativity to communicate visually. We use colours, typography and imagery to help us express and communicate a message.

In this class you will learn how to express yourself and share a message visually by creating and designing your very own personal manifesto! A manifesto is a declaration of your core values and beliefs, what you stand for, and how you intend to live your life. It could be a statement of principles, a call to action or bringing awareness to a cause you believe in.

By designing your manifesto, you will learn how to gather inspiration, create a mood-board, layout and composition tips, like alignment, proximity and contrast, how to work with colours, what to think when choosing and pairing typography and how to make your designs pop!

Throughout the class, you will learn:

How to express a message visually
How to create a manifesto
How to research and collect visual inspiration
How to create a mood board
The meanings of colours
Layout and composition
How to pair fonts
How to sketch your ideas
How to bring your ideas to life
Everyone is welcome! This class is for you if you are interested in graphic design, self-exploration and personal growth. No prior experience is required. I will talk you through the graphic design basic rules to help you design like a pro and bring your ideas to life! To follow along, you will need a computer to research and look for inspiration and have access to Adobe Illustrator(but can also be replaced by your favourite graphic software).

The skills learned in this class can be applied into any other graphic design project you decide to create in the future.
