Ready to Have Show-Stopping Designs?
4 essential design rules for the newbie designer & anyone that wants to create professional-looking graphics right from the start.
You've got the skills & the design software
Now it's time to elevate your already awesome work with these tried & true design rules.
You’re not alone. It happened to me too. I was designing consistently but only some of my work seemed to be game changers… the rest just kind of fell flat.
I started to doubt myself – maybe I really did need a fancy art degree. Maybe I had to be an artist or maybe I just wasn’t meant to do this type of thing.
But none of that was true.
I kept designing and I started to read and connect with other design professionals. I asked for critique, refined my work, and consumed all things design (we’re talking text books that are probably required reading for those fancy art degrees.) Over the course of a few years, I cracked the code and the awesomeness that was in my head started consistently showing up in my work.
you can fast track your design skills
Learn these design rules & start designing like a seasoned expert... I'll show you how.
These 4 essential design principles are used by graphic design experts. I apply the rules to my own design projects and these are the same principles I teach my online University students in their Visual Media Communications course. If they can do it, you can too!
Your life BEFORE the course:
- inconsistent quality on your designs - some are great, others not as much
- spending hours on work hoping to make it "better"
- questioning whether or not you can really "do this"
- not sure how to elevate your work without it looking "busy" or "not enough"
Your life AFTER the course:
- consistently create drool-worthy designs you can be proud of
- quickly refine your work with our checklists
- creating quality work with confidence
- systematically layering design principles to create custom work that screams "professional" and "eye-catching"
