Windows & Walls Graphic Design Class

The Windows and Walls 3 day class is aimed towards graphic designers who want to build accurate, photo realistic templates for storefronts, rough walls, windows and interior walls.

Using photos and measurements, techniques are learned to build layered and scaled templates of windows and walls to make designs that are equally accurate for proofing, file prep/production and installation purposes. This can result in easier client visualization, less revisions and faster approvals, as well as a more efficient design-to-production/ file prep workflow.

We also review common tools, respective hotkey shortcuts and modifier keys to improve efficiency in workflows.

• Students explore the benefits of a tandem workflow using both Photoshop and Illustrator to achieve the best results for the design.
• Techniques are learned to ‘stitch’ together multiple photos for extended suites or storefronts that have multiple window banks.
• Creative briefs are discussed, why they are needed and how they can help to avoid unnecessary revisions.

Class registration/ticket purchases are non-refundable.
