We'll also turn on the laser and work with the following materials
- Wooden plaques, both particle and regular wood, using masking, painting, and vinyl logos and emblems. Learn the tricks for crisp, dark lettering, and for making gold and silver paints really bright. We'll use contours and blends in CorelDRAW to create a relief around our logos.
- Hard Surfaced materials such as ceramic tile, glass and marble. We'll be using mirrors, glass goblets and black marble, and show you how easy it is to put pictures and artwork on both. Forget about the wet newspaper myth, it's for beginners.
And the last part of the class will be on materials and jobs that you select. So bring some sample jobs that you have trouble with, or materials which create a major challenge.
And each class member will receive:
- Full-color binder with over 200+ PAGES of detailed notes on each session.
- CD with logos, squiggles, curly q's and hundreds of sample layouts to take home and practice what you've learned. Know Mr. ROMCAT? He's going home with you, also.
