About this course

Most designers can lay out a page but freeze when a brief calls for original illustration. This course closes that gap with concrete frameworks, named tools (Illustrator, Procreate, Affinity Designer), and worked examples that take a sketch through to a print- and screen-ready asset. You will leave with a small library of reusable illustrations and a repeatable process for matching art to a brand voice.
