Program Description
The program that started it all back in October 2010! Foundation workshops are the backbone of IOB's schedule.
Over the course of four workshops, students have the opportunity to explore the basics of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator as they work and collaborate one-on-one with a professional design mentor in person or virtually via Zoom.
The best part? Students are encouraged to bring their own passions and interests to use as their design inspiration. The final day culminates with an in-class presentation and celebration of their work. All participants will receive a 18” x 24” printed poster of their creation following the final workshop.
