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.
