Make Your Own Chat Stickers! A Character Design and Vector Coloring Exercise

Learn how you can make your very own chat stickers! In this class, you will:

• Have a fun creative exercise in character design and expressive communication
• Learn the basics of vector coloring in Adobe Illustrator
• Understand what makes for a great sticker vs. an OK sticker— they're not all created equal!
• Create a set of stickers you can send to friends & family :) 

Besides being an avid sticker user, I made a sticker set that reached the Top 25 Paid Stickers Chart in iMessage. Now I want to share my process with you! I guide you through every step from brainstorming to finished graphic. I'll share all my tips on what makes for a great chat sticker :)

You'll need (1) a digital graphics program such as Adobe Illustrator to digitize your stickers, and (2) a smartphone to test and use your stickers. That's it!

To see how the stickers looks live, check out my stickers on the iMessage App Store here or on the LINE sticker market here.
