What to expect
Join this creative workshop to learn design principles and typography fundamentals, work on a digital design using Adobe Photoshop, and transform it into a unique typographical collage.
Drawing on Harland Miller's distinctive approach to the written word, this full-day workshop will blend digital skills with tactile techniques. You'll get an understanding of typographical hierarchy, font types and design principles before using digital software to create your own poster design. After printing your work, you'll develop it further through collage techniques, combining digital precision with hands-on activities to produce an original typographical artwork to take home.
