Graphic Design Essentials with Jack Davis




Graphic Design Essentials is part of our special week-long event Adobe Creative Apps for Beginners.

Join Photography veteran Jack Davis for the what, why and how of visual communication, taking you through the entire creative process from brainstorming to final product.

Design is a powerful storytelling tool — it's not just something you slap onto a project to make it look pretty. By taking a step back and understanding the power of design, you too can learn to craft a visual story about yourself or your business to help set you apart from your competitors. Jack Davis, an internationally-recognized expert in the field of design, comes to creativeLIVE for an overview of basic design principles. You'll learn about the foundational principles of design theory: grids, color, typography, composition, illustration, and more in this unique 1-day course.

In addition to the theories behind good design, Jack will also take you through the full creative process, from the initial brainstorm to thumb-nailing to final composition. If you are a design newbie, or looking to brush up on best-practices, this course is for you!
