UConn Branding

  • Workshop: Design 101

    Are you a unit or department communicator (program coordinator, multiple hat wearer, unicorn, etc.) responsible for marketing and communications support? Do you create social media posts, flyers, brochures, posters, programs or other marketing materials? Do you know what looks good but struggle to create appealing designs without relying on Venngage or Canva templates? Is it a constant challenge to incorporate the UConn brand into communications pieces that don’t feel stale and boring? Are you someone who is interested in communication design and would love to understand more but don’t know where to start? Well, we have a fantastic opportunity for you!

    Please join Associate Director of Branding and Visual Identity and Lead Designer, Christine Vasington for Workshop: Design 101. Come learn the basics of graphic design and how you can implement those concepts into your communication designs to produce engaging visuals, optimized communications, and learn to train your eye like a designer. This 2-hour workshop will include a short lesson on graphic design principles, a critique session, and a hands-on project that will allow participants to. Apply what they learned.

    To understand interest, please fill out this form by Monday, Nov. 16 to indicate if you would like to join the workshop. Based on interest, we will be able to determine day, time, and location.

    This is a FREE workshop.
