Minimalist Graphic Design for Big Ideas

“You have reached the end of this course, so congrats to you! Thanks for trusting me to be your teacher, it’s been a pleasure. I truly hope you can find some of my methods useful. Now you are more than ready to create your own final project. Let me show you an example of how I would like to see your final project: Titles: Choose the titles for your series of three posters or book covers. For example: The Animal & The Architecture Sketches: Brainstorm about how to illustrate your subjects using vector sketching.

The Layout: Design the basic layout or template for your series. Create Options: Create a couple of different options and variations for each design. Play with your design, let your imagination drive you in the right way! Your Poster: Finalize your designs by selecting and refining the version you feel works best. Challenge yourself by coming up with subject matter without any obvious visual solution for your poster series. Remember to be patient, time is the key to achieving success. Try not to rush yourself, this is the most important part in any creative process! Please, do not forget to post your final project. I am looking forward to seeing all of your journey from the first spark to the finished project. I will be giving you feedback as soon as I can. Meanwhile, you can share ideas and comments with your classmates on the forum. Talking to each other will help you all to improve your work and to have a bigger “visual diet”. Keep in mind that you learn by looking! Design is all around you, being observant is key. Can’t wait to see you on the forum! ”
