A key element of engaging library patrons is communicating with them effectively. While libraries often have no shortage of staff who excel at verbal communication, few have in-house expertise in visual communication—leaving the design of flyers, newsletters, web pages and other print and digital communications in the hands of “accidental” graphic designers. Attend this four-week course to begin learning the foundational principles of graphic design and elevate the quality of your library’s visual communications.
Topics
- Typography
- Shape and Color
- Composition
- Design tools and resources
Software Requirements
A free Canva account or standard Microsoft Office software can be used for course activities.
