Course Description

Overview

Explore how designer and illustrator Melanie Yarbrough takes a wedding invitation from moodboard to finished product. In 45 minutes, you'll get an in-depth view into her workflow—from deciding on an aesthetic, choosing fonts, composition and layout, tweaks, and final file prep.

This class is for the aspiring designer or the DIY bride or groom. In the last part of the class,  Melanie will show you how to take your design elements and create save the dates and thank you cards!

Whether you have little to no design experience or you'd like a glimpse into the world of wedding stationery design, this class is for you. Familiarity with Adobe Illustrator is a plus, but not required. You can download a 30-day free trial of Illustrator and get all of your designs created in enough time to cross another wedding to-do off your list.
