\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

live workshops and projects<\/span><\/h3>\n

\n

Whether you use Adobe, Affinity, or anything in between, the Design Sprint provides a space for designers to learn, grow, and collaborate regardless of their preferred tools or location.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Week 1<\/span> | Image Editing & Gen AI<\/span><\/h3>\n

Learn how to photograph, generate and combine images into engaging composites.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Week 2 | Illustration & Animation<\/span><\/h3>\n

Learn how to create illustrations, animations and videos featuring your chosen product or brand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Week 3 | Layout & Web Design<\/span><\/h3>\n

Learn how to design a magazine spread and a website for your chosen product or brand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

You will design<\/span><\/h3>\n

a Product Ad Campaign from start to finish<\/span><\/h3>\n

Choose a product or brand<\/span><\/h3>\n

At the start of the Sprint you need to choose a product (real or fictional) that you will <\/span><\/span><\/span>build a promotional campaign<\/span><\/span><\/span> for. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

There will be several types of products for you to choose from like fashion, beauty, gadgets, beverage<\/strong>, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You can decide to stick to one product\/brand for the entire duration of the Sprint or you can complete each task and deliverable with a different product\/brand.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

You will get to choose a real or fictional product or brand for your campaign<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Make designs for print and social media<\/span><\/h3>\n

During the first week you will learn professional image-editing techniques and transform individual assets into polished, high-impact visuals with the help of Generative AI. We will be <\/span><\/span><\/span>designing multiple<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>posters featuring our chosen product<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Learn to iterate and refine your concepts until they perfectly communicate the brand’s message to the costumers.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn to iterate and ideate to create compelling and engaging posters, social graphics and web banners<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Master generative AI techniques<\/span><\/h3>\n

Anyone can generate images and videos, but most people don’t know how to get consistent results<\/strong>. Without consistency in models, products, environments and aesthetics your images might work individually but they won’t work for a campaign.<\/p>\n

\n

Amongst many other skills you will learn how to generate consistent images for any project using Adobe Firefly, Photoshop and other generative AI tools.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn how to generating consistent images for promotional campaigns<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Stay in control with sketches<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you are a visual person, you might find it easier to draw<\/strong> your ideas than to put them into words (prompts). You don’t have to be brilliant at drawing, even rough sketches can guide the latest AI models perfectly.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Learning to direct AI image models with simple sketches is the most effective way to realise your vision every time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

A rough sketch is all you need to get started and to be able to produce high detailed final results that stays true to your vision and composition.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Create vector and pixel illustrations<\/span><\/h3>\n

During the second week you will learn how to create detailed <\/span><\/span><\/span>illustrations<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span>, create complex vector graphics and bring your ideas to life through <\/span><\/span><\/span>motion<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span> for your chosen product\/brand.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on your drawing skills you will be able to find the most fitting workflow<\/strong>. Stickman drawings can be just as effective as professional fine art drawing skills.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Pencil sketch, digital drawing, vector art or generated illustration. All are viable options for most projects, you just need to learn how to produce them effectively.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Design a fully functioning website and a magazine spread<\/span><\/h3>\n

During the 3rd week we will dive into typography, composition, and layout as you will learn how to design a magazine article and a webpage for your chosen product\/brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

No experience in web design or coding needed. <\/span><\/span><\/strong>By the end of the Sprint you will know how to build sites with Framer (no subscription required).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

You will add an engaging and trendy website to your campaign (and another great example to showcase in your creative portfolio)<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What will you produce during the Design Sprint?<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/span>We will move fast and attempt to build an entire product campaign from start to finish within the 3 weeks including:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • making, generating and curating assets<\/strong> (elements to use for comps) and hero assets<\/strong> (defining the visual direction)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • product design, packaging, mockup shots<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  • branding and logo design<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  • designing for print: posters<\/strong>, editorial design<\/strong> (magazine article\/cover)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • designing for web: social graphics, website design<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
  • creating animation<\/strong> and videos<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

    By the end of the Sprint you will have an impressive collection of designs, an entire product ad campaign that you can proudly display in your creative portfolio<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Why is the Design Sprint different?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Because you\u2019re not just watching another pre-recorded tutorial, you\u2019re getting live coaching, working on real projects, and connecting with a supportive community that keeps you accountable and moving fast.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In just 21 days, you\u2019ll create polished, portfolio-ready work<\/strong>, and each week we\u2019ll choose winners from the live sessions to celebrate your progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

    Selection of some of the work produced by attendees during the previous Design Sprint<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

    Not sure if you can attend the live session?<\/span> No problem!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Each session runs for about three hours, but everything is recorded and available on-demand. <\/span><\/li>\n
    • You don\u2019t have to join every session live <\/strong>– many students attend the first hour and catch up on the rest later. <\/span><\/li>\n
    • No matter how you participate, you\u2019ll get the same level of support and guidance throughout.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
    • Ideally, plan for around 8\u201310 hours per week<\/strong> to work on your Design Sprint project. You can spread this time out however it best fits your schedule.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Each week, you\u2019ll master the latest, most effective design workflows using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, taking advantage of generative AI <\/span>techniques<\/span> to streamline your process.<\/span><\/h3>\n

      Schedule<\/span> of the Design Sprint<\/span><\/h3>\n

      Please note that all live sessions will go live at 6am PT \/ 9am EST \/ 2pm GMT \/ 3pm CET \/ 1am AEST (next day)and there will be unlimited on-demand access to all recordings<\/strong> afterward.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

      With live coaching, real-world projects, and collaboration with both the instructor and peers, this sprint is the ultimate blend of accountability, guidance, focus, and <\/span>rapid progress<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

      What makes the Design Sprint special?<\/span><\/h3>\n

      \"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

      In just three weeks, you will gain skills that normally take months, <\/span>building your portfolio<\/span> with professional work along the way.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

      \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

      The Design Sprint was an incredible experience, and I\u2019m truly grateful for the opportunity. Through the Pro Member Design Sprint Event, I won the chance to take any Adobe certification exam of my choice, a prize that gave me the push<\/span> I needed to finally pursue a long-time goal. I\u2019m proud to share that I not only took the exam but passed with an outstanding score of 95%.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

      <\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

      Meabh<\/h3>\n

      \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

      The Design Sprint helped me get faster and more effective in my work.<\/span><\/h3>\n

      The Pro Membership has really helped me through a lot of hard times design-wise. Even just jumping into one video helps me get my creativity back. I really, really appreciate all of the added value and excellent advice they consistently add to it. It’s made keeping my Pro Membership active a very easy choice!<\/span><\/h3>\n

      Evi<\/h3>\n

      \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

      The Design Sprint was a great experience, so glad I took part. I learnt a lot of valuable lessons both about creative workflows and also on how to get started with ideation, research and iteration. I cannot wait for the next Spring to start!<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

      \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

      This Design Sprint will give you the tools, workflows, and <\/span><\/span>hands-on experience<\/span><\/span> needed to tackle complex, high-value design projects. With peer motivation, instructor guidance, and structured deadlines, you\u2019ll make real progress and <\/span><\/span>gain confidence<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

      It is perfect for you if…<\/p>\n

      It is NOT for you if…<\/p>\n

      Want to see results fast<\/p>\n

        \n
      • You struggle to make consistent progress with self-paced programs and NEED accountability<\/span><\/strong>.<\/li>\n
