ABOUT TIMOTHY’S CLASS:
You don’t need to have a background in fine arts or be an Adobe InDesign whiz to create compelling designs. In this class, Timothy Samara takes you back to the fundamentals of graphic design – the same principles he has consistently returned to in his 25-year career.
Through real-world projects, you’ll learn the basics of:
Form and image
Color theory
Typography
Layout and composition
Most unique about Timothy’s class is his demonstration of how design theory manifests in actual projects; he cracks open his professional portfolio and takes you into the world of how real designers work. With an extensive career behind him, Timothy’s design services have spanned from web design to print media, to interface design, and to building brand identity. By walking through Timothy’s creative process, you not only see how design elements interact and impact an overall product, but you get a rare view of the problem-solving graphic designers do and the decisions they make. What rules exist and when are they broken? How do you juggle meticulous research vs. spontaneity?
Whether you want to design a poster, flyer, or logo – this class will give you the insights you need to design with confidence. Welcome to the art and science of graphic design.
