Visual Identity for Artists
Branding. It sounds corporate and soul-destroying, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Defining your visual style can be an enjoyable creative and artistic adventure. Done well, it can make it easy for your audience to find you, and make it easier for you to create all the content and collateral that come with getting your work out into the world.
You'll learn about the way photography, imagery, fonts, language and colours can help tell the world who you are. We’ll dissect different examples of visual identities, and walk through the steps you can take to have a consistent visual identity that feels right for you.
DIY Graphic Design
As an independent artist, it’s really helpful to be able to put together your own graphics in a pinch. In this session, you'll learn the basics of graphic design, empowering you to create eye-catching posters, show graphics, cover art, and social media content that truly represents your music (and looks awesome).
No prior design experience? No problem! This session is suitable for artists who want to make a start, as well as artists who want to improve their existing graphics skills. You'll gain practical skills, learn about the tools and software available, and create a design checklist that will help you look your best every time, including when you’re on a non-existent budget.
