Adobe IllustratorWhat is this course's project?
Create your own MicroStory by choosing a simple story to represent in a vector format and by using the experimental methodology that Martin outlines. But it doesn't end here. As an unconventional course, the final objective is to create a collaborative project called The Magic Woods, including the work of as many creatives as possible. Martin Satí takes charge of uniting all the graphics published by students to build this ambitious experimental project.
What's more, if the participation is active, the project can even be taken to an outdoor or urban location. The event would be documented and exhibited in different media showing: the video, the stories, and graphics signed by each student, with the final montage projected on urban land. As you can see, Martin Satí's creativity knows no bounds.
Who is this online course for?
This course is aimed at people with a graphic design and creative profile. Established professionals or students in the sector who want to enhance their creativity and explore new methodologies or simply creatives who like to experiment.
Requirements and materials
You only need your mind, a notebook, a story to tell, and some basic knowledge of a vector design program like Illustrator (no need to be an expert).

A course by Martin Sati
Martin Satí is a graphic designer and illustrator who was born in Seville in 1972. He studied fine arts, complementing his studies at the University of Southampton - Winchester School of Art, where he developed an interest in design. He then began his professional career in Madrid doing advertising design work, combining illustration, photomontage, and vector graphics.
Martin focuses on the construction of form, internal movements of things, and the use of color and line as base materials. This is what defines him as a "graphic artisan." His emotional language involves a continuous process of experimentation, personalization, and a desire to inject life, color, and beauty in everything that surrounds us.
He currently works within graphic experimentation for international projects and major brands such as McDonalds, Google, HP, AT&T, IBM, Samsung, Kellogg's, Beefeater, Epson, Harper's Bazaar, El Pais, and Movistar.

Quedan muchas cosas en el aire. El trabajo de Martin es muy interesante pero el curso no está enfocado en un proceso que lleve a aprendizajes a partir de lo experimental.

The translations/subtitles were incomprehensible, I couldn't watch past the first couple of lessons - impossible to understand what he was saying. A shame, because his artwork was very interesting and would have liked to learn his experimental process.
