Professional Practice

• This course will provide you with the necessary SketchUp and image editing skills to create a watercolour illustration of an Instagram inspired Flat Lay, (including a 3D effect with shadows and highlights).  This will demonstrate a keen eye for detail, effective use of digital rendering techniques, a high level of creativity and professionalism, coupled with a strong brand identity.  These drawings will ultimately support your design processes and allow you to confidently communicate your design, as part of a client presentation.  Digital watercolour illustrations will allow you to present your ideas in a whimsical and artistic way, whilst retaining an efficient workflow in a professional design studio.  This course will also provide you with the ability to consider alternative options, without compromising on quality (Photoshop and/or GIMP).  The various styles produced are incredibly multi-functional and can be incorporated in online portfolios, social media marketing, website design, blog content and e-design services.
