NEXT WEEK, in Design for Non-Designers at @modatl: We all know that the Adobe programs (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and other design tools can be daunting and expensive. In this class, we’ll help you pick the program that’s right for you. It’s not a tutorial about how to use these programs, instead you’ll learn the differences between them. Then you can pick the one (or two) that you’ll need. Plus, we’ve got tips and (actually affordable) tools for photo editing and basic design. We’re big fans of freebies.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sign up via the link in my profile ~ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sketch #draw #sketchbook #illustrator #instaart #doodle #painting #pencil #creative #watercolor #artoftheday #instaartist #graphic #graphicdesign #digitalart #ink #artsy #pen #arte #illust #sketching #womenofillustration #atlmakers #atliens #exploreatl #designfornondesigners #modatl via Instagram https://ift.tt/2uog4EK

Applications for the Jan/Feb residency at @volatile.parts closes on Tuesday, Dec 10 – if you're an artist here in Atlanta, you should seriously consider applying! It would mean:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • A month of studio space in @jessbernhart's home⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • A show in February⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • A publication released after the show⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ^^ a lot of really sick artists have come through this program, and as of last month it's fully funded by the Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs! That means: you receive a $250 honorarium, pay nothing, and publish your work. DO IT NOW (visit @volatile.parts for more info) via Instagram https://ift.tt/2OVVcwt

idk about y'all but it's pretty cool to see this project I worked on with Councilmember Amir Farokhi for #district2atlanta making the rounds in the news ~ live or work downtown? Check out the project: downtownatldecides.com ☀️☀️☀️ via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Pe7mzr

Made this sweatshirt over Thanksgiving break and am clearly trying to get kicked out of Atlanta and the design community at the same time 😘😘😘😘😘i'm not sorry via Instagram https://ift.tt/2qly9Sg

This is a map I made showing all of the things @planatlanta has in store for the metro region. ✅✅✅ It takes time, of course, but I love thinking about an Atlanta that doesn’t need to rely on cars to get around. via Instagram https://ift.tt/35CmFbT

So delighted to see this note from my mentor/former intern boss @amyflurry in her newsletter! Amy is so sharp and has such a knack for the PR world, I feel honored she wanted to give me the shout out 🥰 via Instagram https://ift.tt/2XLFA17

And that’s a wrap on my fourth #designfornondesigners workshop! Last night we learned about raster vs vector images, licensing, and editing photos. I thought the section on file types might be a little dull, so I made a bingo game out of it. And we did have a winner!!! • If you’ve ever worked with a designer or needed to make your own stuff in a pinch, definitely come to these workshops ~ next one is in January! via Instagram https://ift.tt/37vkDfB

It was so fun to team up with @atlcitystudio yesterday to speak to 9th graders about design and urbanism ~ the students were on it, had some great questions about gentrification and transit expansion! 🚊🚊 I love that students are getting a chance to tackle these complex topics early on, and feeling a lot of gratitude that I got to be there for it. 📸 by @natamont via Instagram https://ift.tt/33Qa44z

NEXT WEEK, in Design for Non-Designers at @modatl: JPG, SVG, LOL? What’s the difference between an EPS and a PNG, and why do you need both for your brand? We’ll learn about raster and vector images, when to use them, and how they work on a pixel level. We’ll talk about image resolution and why can’t you blow up a thumbnail into a billboard. We’ll even talk about converting file types efficiently, not just changing the filename.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sign up via the link in my profile ~ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sketch #draw #sketchbook #illustrator #instaart #doodle #painting #pencil #creative #watercolor #artoftheday #instaartist #graphic #graphicdesign #digitalart #ink #artsy #pen #arte #illust #sketching #womenofillustration #atlmakers #atliens #exploreatl #modatl #designfornondesigners via Instagram https://ift.tt/33D6BWO

I love this little backstage moment from @condomcoutureatl last week - hours before doors opened, @emmadavisweld was practicing walking with her giant hat and @rachie_claire was adjusting some of the many pieces of her dress to make sure they would spin brilliantly - THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who came, purchased pieces (eternal gratitude to @youareanawesomehuman ❤️), and supported us in so many ways! via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Q5pH3N

Obsessed with how good @rachie_claire looked at @ctr4chr last week – her coat is made out of 500+ condom wrappers for @condomcoutureatl, a fashion show *this Saturday* at the Westside Cultural Arts Center! Everything in the show is made out of either condoms or condom wrappers, my wildest design constraint yet 💪🏼💪🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All proceeds raised from tickets and auction sales at the event go to support @ppse, so come party with us ~ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ( 📸by @thejustinchan ) via Instagram https://ift.tt/2PPyHda

Do y'all get my email newsletter? I think it's pretty good – it has some recent projects I've worked on, resources you might like, classes in Atlanta you might want to take, and usually a shouts out or two for something cool a friend is doing. (oh also, you get FREE TREATS in the mail from time to time if you include your address!) 🌞October's is about to go out, check out the link in my bio! via Instagram https://ift.tt/2phwxbJ

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PHRASES – it's a French phrase that describes the feeling when you think of the perfect to say way too late (it literally translates to "wit of the staircase.")⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's kind of like how when I was carrying a bag of 500 unwrapped, unlubricated condoms on the way to my studio so I could work on my piece for @condomcoutureatl, and a woman stopped and asked me what they were for and then made fun of me, and I was like "oh yeah, haha" but didn't actually think of a good retort until like 20 minutes later.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Has this ever happened to you??? via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Nhj5MV
