Life is Too Short for Bad Art!

Drawings-O-Plenty.

Last year I coordinated a poster event for Neenah Paper at the HOW Design Conference. It was a lot of fun and a huge success. I’m thankful that Neenah Paper asked me to coordinate another poster event for this years HOW Design Conference in San Francisco.

I invited four talented artists (several of them are SF based) to create a unique poster design for this years event. Each day a different artist will be signing their posters at the Neenah booth. (Get to the booth early the posters go fast!) The artists who are part of this years event are:

- Josh Chen
- Earl Gee
- James Victore
- Ron Chan
- Von Glitschka

Now take a few minutes and go behind the scenes for a sneak peek at my poster design and how I created it.

The Method to my Madness

Crude thumbnail sketch.

After posting a new project last week on my Glitschka Studios website I’ve been asked how I went about creating the artwork. I should point out that a full disclosure of my process can easily be found via my book Vector Basic Training or through my tutorials at IllustrationClass.com.

I’ve decided to quickly review the method to my madness in this post. It’s one that I use for nearly all my creative projects whether it’s a logo design, illustration, diagram, iconography etc.

Vector Basic Training Workshop: Your Location Here

Vector Basic Training Workshops.

The Vector Basic Training (VBT) one day workshop is a live three hour event that takes the attender through a systematic creative process that reinforces drawing, and demonstrates how to precisely build your drawn design in vector form through simple vector build methods.

My goal is to help demystify the often frustrating process of creating vector graphics, so you can leave the event better equipped to produce well-crafted vector artwork for your own design projects.

Attenders can bring their own laptops and follow along using the vector resource files I’ll provide to those who sign up to attend, or they can just watch the presentation. Either way you’ll learn a lot. Attender questions are welcomed during the live event and every paid attender will receive a discount code good for 35% off my book Vector Basic Training.

Who is This Workshop For?
The methods I cover in this workshop will apply to graphic designers, web developers, illustrators, Interactive designers or anyone who needs to create original vector graphics using drawing programs like Adobe Illustrator, FreeHand, CorelDraw or even InkScape for their own projects.

VBT Workshop in Your Area
This workshop can be hosted in any local community or in correlation with a local AIGA chapter and is open to all local creative people who’d like to attend.

What: Vector Basic Training Workshop (3 hrs)
Who: Von Glitschka – www.vonglitschka.com
When: A date and time that works for you.
Where: A location that works for you.
Why: To improve your creative process.
Resource Files for VBT Workshop: Will be emailed to attenders who sign-up.
