Design a poster for an event, movie, or concert
In this course, illustrator, designer, and music poster designer Error! Design, teaches you to design a high-impact poster using the digital collage technique from old engraved illustrations. Discover the steps followed by Error! Design for a real commission—the commemorative tenth-anniversary poster of Love of Lesbian's first album launch.
Error! Design loves to make the visuals aspect of music shine too through his posters. That is why, in each of his works, he recreates scenes, actions, or something that gives life to the paper and transmits feeling.

Who is this online course for?
If you're one of those people who stands on the street staring at signs thinking that they should have a greater visual impact and less Comic Sans, then this is the course for you.
Requirements and materials
All you need is the desire and motivation to get creative. If you also love music and have a good grasp of Photoshop or Illustrator it would be a plus, but is by no means essential.
In terms of materials, you need a pencil for sketching, a notebook, a computer with an internet connection and either Photoshop or Illustrator installed. A scanner and printer would be useful but are optional.

Great course, only issues is some of the translations for the captions (English specifically) are a bit off. Still worth picking up.
