Graphic Design Workshop
Hello fellow guild members! I am ShySkull, creator of the ShySkullBros. You can all call me Shy. One thing I noticed for the past months of interaction and engagement in the community, little number of creators are doing the proper marketing of their project. Many creators lacks the creativity on creating their publication materials. In this workshop, together we will learn the basic knowledge and skills to startup their way to graphic designing.
By the end of the whole session, we will learn the proper way of creating a strong portfolio if ever they really want to pursue being a Graphic Designer in the future.
