Unleash Your Creativity with Graphic Design: T-Shirts and Stickers Edition!

In this dynamic class, nerd designers will learn the ins and outs of vector design software as they embark on a journey to create their own custom t-shirts and stickers. Discover the secrets of graphic design principles such as color balance and visual composition, and learn how to apply them using cutting-edge technology.

From brainstorming to final product, nerds will bring their ideas to life, designing eye-catching graphics that reflect their unique style and vision. Then, utilizing our industrial vinyl cutter, students will transform their designs into custom stickers, perfect for personalizing notebooks, laptops, and more.

And what’s a graphic design class without some wearable art? With our heat press, nerd designers will have the opportunity to transfer their creations onto their very own t-shirts, creating one-of-a-kind fashion statements that are as unique as they are!

(T-shirts will be provided – be sure to update t-shirt size in your profile!)

This class is awesome for artistic Nerds who love drawing and designing. It’s especially superb for anyone who wants to see how art and technology can be combined to do amazing things like create t-shirt designs and print 2D graphics! No artistic skills necessary – whether you’re a master artist, or you think you can’t draw, you’ll have a great time in this class!

In this class, we’ll turn our designs into real graphics! Nerds can use our vinyl cutter to bring their ideas to life. We’ll use Gravit Designer, a high-end vector graphics design app! After putting our designs together on Gravit, we’ll turn them into vinyl stickers. Each Nerd even gets their very own t-shirt to print their custom design on! You can even use our heat press to press your designs and see them being printed onto your shirts ?.

In this class, we’ll learn about the fundamentals of graphic design! We’ll discuss cool topics like typography, vector images, and visual composition. We’ll also learn about color and balance, and talk about how we can build the color palette of our designs to make them visually appealing. We’ll even dive into some applications of graphic design as we talk about making logos, stickers, and other decals!

This is a computer lab based class which involves design or coding software that we provide account access for. The class will be based around learning that software to design or code the assigned projects. In addition to instruction on the software, all of these classes include lessons about how to connect what we are learning to the real world. There may be some building of physical projects mixed in, and we will certainly take breaks, but the majority of the class is spent working in the lab.

SUMMER & BREAK CLASSES ONLY: Class is 3hrs each day, so bring a snack for break time. Also, bring your own refillable water bottle. Don’t have one? Add our Nerding water bottle to your order and pick up on first day of class!
