If you work at a small nonprofit\, chances are you don’t have money to spend on a graphic designer.Fortunately\, anyone can learn enough of the fundamentals of graphic design to create passable materials on their own. Whether you’re creating visuals for your nonprofit’s communications or know nothing about it and are interested in learning about it\, this series will help you gain knowledge and skills you need create interesting and attractive designs. Join us for a three-week course that will walk you through the fundamentals of design and show you how to get started with the right tools. \nDuring this course you will: \n\nLearn about theories of line\, shape\, form\, and space.\nExplore the theories behind why colors affect the way we think and feel.\nDiscover the sneaky importance of typography.\nReview layout dos and don’ts.\nLearn a few basic tricks for using Adobe InDesign.\nFind out about low-cost alternatives to InDesign.\n\nCourse Schedule\nAll sessions take place Thursdays from 1-2:30 PM Eastern. \nDecember 5: The Elements of Design\nYou will begin by learning the ideas behind good design. You will explore how designers use lines\, shapes\, form\, and space as the basic tools for showing depth\, movement\, or other visual ideas. You will learn about the importance of color and how to use it properly. You will see how typography can affect both what the viewer sees and feels within a design. \nDecember 12: Layout in Action\nYou will learn basic principles of graphic layout\, then together we will show you time a design being created in real time\, explaining the thinking and decisions being made during the process. \nDecember 19: Technology Tools\nAdobe InDesign page layout software is the industry standard\, and it’s important that you learn useful tips and tricks for doing basic design work in it. There are alternative software that offer similar functionality and many simpler tools that are free and easy-to-use. You’ll hear reviews of these alternative tools and their strengths and weaknesses. \nWe will send the access code and dial-in information for the webinar to the email address you use to register.  All registered participants will have access to recordings of each session. Participants who cannot attend any of the sessions due to scheduling conflicts will still have access to the course presentation decks and handouts. \nAbout Expert Trainer Cary Walski\nCary Walski uses her background in the arts to create positive online experiences for mission-driven organizations.
