Adam Balthazor

I have 28 years of experience in graphic design working in design agencies, in-house and freelance for range of companies like Barclays, Barclaycard, Domino's, Lakeland, B&W Loudspeakers, TaylorMade Adidas, Bacardi, Nintendo, Orange and Neal's Yard Remedies.
My lessons would be practical (the best way to learn) and take on briefs that will develop your skills. I will give a variety of briefs to work on. The first lesson will start you off by looking at the brief in depth and then looking for inspiration and creating mood boards, followed by drawing scamps and coming up with ideas and talking through these.
The next lesson will be developing these designs on the computer and talking through the variety of programs available and what to use to kick start your idea. Initially I will be starting Adobe Indesign for Layout design.
The next lesson will briefly look at Adobe Photoshop and how you can manipulate images and how it could be used on the brief. The following lesson will on Adobe Illustrator and how it can be used for logo design for example - and vector image creation.
Also we will look at how AI can be used, to develop your ideas too.
We will appraise your ideas that you have developed and talk through amends which you will work on and come back with final solutions to the brief.

I look forward passing on my knowledge not just in the programs and the design but also typography tips to give your design that edge and give you a great 1st step to your future career.
