Reimagining the Redesign with Mike Schnaidt
Saturday, October 15, 10:00AM - 4:00PM ET

Does the word "redesign" give you night terrors? Don’t sweat it, Fast Company Creative Director Mike Schnaidt will help channel your creativity and get laser focused on how to meet your redesign goals. In this 6 hour course, you'll learn the importance of a good brainstorm, and how to translate a detailed mood board into a cohesive design system in record time. You’ll leave with a prototype and the confidence to go into work Monday and wow your EIC with your new found redesign courage.

Attendees for this workshop should be fluent with graphic design and typography, and have some great fonts already loaded on their computer. Access to Adobe InDesign and Photoshop during the workshop is required. Zoom meeting link will be provided via email a day before the workshop.

Dynamic Digital Covers with Chuck Kerr
Saturday, October 29, 1:00PM - 7:00PM ET

A great magazine cover leaps off the newsstand and forces the reader to stop in their tracks. Social media feeds are a different kind of newsstand, and digital magazine covers are a unique opportunity to stop the scroll and help your brand break through the noise. 

This workshop will take you behind the scenes of some award-winning digital covers—from concept to execution—and help you gain insight into how you can combine traditional print cover design and art direction with video, motion graphics, and other techniques.

Attendees for this workshop should have a reasonable degree of fluency with the basic principles of graphic design and typography; basic motion design experience is a plus. Access to Adobe Creative Suite, specifically After Effects, InDesign, and Photoshop during the workshop is required. Zoom meeting link will be provided via email a day before the workshop.

Check out our first three creative labs below!

Conceptual Thinking with Ed Levine:
Saturday, April 17 / 10AM - 4PM ET

For everyone who has ever wondered ‘how did they come up with that’ solution or felt ‘I wish I had thought of that idea.’ The goal is to put ‘ART’ back in Art Direction. Learning how to take edited ‘abstract’ manuscripts or memos and develop the skills needed to create fresh personal solutions instead of literal interpretations of the text.

Access to Adobe InDesign during the workshop is required.

https://www.elevinedesign.com
Fee: $375.00  ($187.50 for SPD Professional Members)

Registration is now closed.

Advanced Typography with McCandliss & Campbell:
Saturday, May 1 / 10AM - 4PM ET

Deepen your understanding of typography and unlock the secrets behind the inner structure of letterforms with Trevett McCandliss and Nancy Campbell of McCandliss & Campbell. Learn to create and modify your typography for conceptual and expressive purposes. Use your new skills in print or on the web, for headlines, logos or motion projects, or wherever type that goes beyond the commonplace is to be found. The sky’s the limit!

The ideal candidate for this workshop will have a reasonable degree of fluency with the basic principles of graphic design and typography. Access to the Adobe Creative Suite with a reasonable degree of fluency in InDesign and/or Illustrator during the workshop is required.

We'll utilize After Effects to learn the basics of movement with typography and image in 2D and 3D environments. You'll learn tips and tricks to make your posters, illustrations, and magazine pages animate and how to create engaging content for online and social media. 

The workshop is geared toward the beginner with a solid design and typography background. Access to After Effects during the workshop is required.

"Being a photographer is a matter of constantly striving to create great work and introduce it to your audience in the most effective way possible. Many of these interactions come by way of portfolio reviews of which there are many. The annual portfolio review put on by SPD is among the best. Expert advice and terrific feedback from many of the top leaders in the industry. What else could you ever ask for? It’s been consistently valuable enough to get this LA photographer on a plane to NYC for several years. Even though this year's trip will only require me to travel to my home office to sit in front of my desktop, I wouldn’t miss it for the world."
