If it’s not your background, graphic design may be a fun new adventure, or a stressful time hog.  For the do-it-all nonprofit marketer, creating attractive print and digital design that’s on brand can be tricky. From sizing for screens to setting up folds for print, it’s easy to get overwhelmed—or to waste money producing an ineffective piece.

Going beyond graphic design basics, learn professional techniques for creating high-impact marketing materials—from setting up a single piece to planning a coordinated multi-channel campaign.  Whether you are using InDesign, Canva or something else, learn methods to design engaging invitations, newsletters, reports and more.

This class is designed for staff who need to create effective marketing materials and are not trained designers. We’ll focus on design principles that are applicable to any project and any design tools you use. The class can be taken in its own or as part of the Foundations of Nonprofit Marketing Course.

• To create a flexible layout grid that accommodates different content
