Be a part of Ryonet's first graphic design class (limited to 6) on October 16th & 17th (NEW DATES) in Upland, CA.
Ross Hunter and David Chadd at Reviation
Industries are proud to announce a new class on graphic design to be offered to
the Ryonet family of customers. The new class is a two day seminar on graphic
design geared specifically for screen printers. We at Reviation and Ryonet
understand that the graphic design bottleneck in our industry is a
difficult problem for most beginners and even the experienced printmakers to
overcome. We have now developed a hands on training seminar to help our customers overcome
and conquer this graphic design bottleneck which will enhance the quality of
your prints and save you money by allowing you to do in house design. In the
two day course we will dive into Adobe Illustrator and teach you the tools and
design concepts necessary to provide your clients with amazing artwork.
We will also discuss how to use Adobe Photoshop in conjunction with Adobe
Illustrator to enhance your designs.
EVERYONE PARTICIPATING IN THE CLASS WILL HAVE
THEIR OWN DESIGN STATION PROVIDED AND WILL GET A HANDS ON EXPERIENCE BOTH DAYS.
We are limiting the class
to only 6 participants in order to allow everyone who signs up an almost one on
one experience with the trainer!
SIGN UP TODAY AS SPACE IS
VERY LIMITED. All participants will also receive a handbook/cheat sheet on
everything discussed in the class.
