Why Take This Class?

In this class, you will not only learn how to take a "theoretical idea" and turn it into a "visual structure," but also discover 5 core methods of expression: from classes covering transparency, bitmap, gradients and mesh, metal texture, and datafication to 8 in-depth class exercises.
Moreover, this class shares valuable insights into OffSet printing, Indigo printing, and silkscreen printing, and the final processes of applying foil, embossing, cutting, binding, and coating, to add the final touches to your designs.
