Synopsis

Master the 3 C's of Head-Turning Design!

Composition: Practice combining the components of a design in a visually appealing way by using the principles of placement, grouping, alignment, flow and spacing to create a pleasing, cohesive design.

Concept: Utilize the intangible elements of theme, connotation and style to present and deliver your message in a way that will wow your clients every time.
