Then, I'll show you how to prepare your photo as a reusable mockup file to display your digital or scanned creations with your decor. I'll provide tutorials for Apple Procreate, Adobe Fresco and Adobe Photoshop, so you can choose your favourite design software.
We'll be using my simple blank slate technique, principles of visual and narrative design, your chosen camera/phone and software, and items you can shop for in your own home.
When you're finished this class, you'll have a personalized mockup, to be used right away, and time and again, across your visual platforms. A tool in your toolbox for showcasing your art, photography or messaging.
All skill levels are welcome! This class is for
Anyone interested in learning new perspectives for showcasing art, or styling art in a space.
Those creating content who'd like a "tweakable" vignette for their art, photography or messaging.
Creatives of all kinds - including but not limited to - artists, illustrators, typographers, photographers, designers, stylists, content creators, brands, entrepreneurs, etc.
Note: a rudimentary knowledge of either Apple Procreate, Adobe Fresco or Adobe Photoshop software is helpful but not required.
This class will help you
Channel a relaxed mindset to enjoy the decorating process and avoid overwhelm.
Prime your metaphorical canvas, preparing a surface in your home for your vignette.
Shop your home and hone your personal style.
Consider new perspectives for styling your art.
Apply the principles of visual and narrative design.
Convey a visual story (inspiring others to connect with you and your work).
Gain new insights both off and on the canvas. Connecting not only with others, but to yourself and your work, seeing your surroundings in a new way.
Photograph your vignette with your chosen camera in varied compositions.
Edit this photo, brightening and balancing its colour, with your ideal editing software.
Save time, not having to print or frame your pieces for online display (time you can put back into making more work).
Create a mockup file for your work, using your favourite software (Apple Procreate, Adobe Fresco or Adobe Photoshop).
Spark your curiosity, imagination and creativity.
You'll step away with
A curated Pinboard for additional inspiration (and tips on how to avoid "Pinfectionism" or comparison mode).
Cheat sheet handouts about personal style, the art of decorating a vignette, photo editing adjustments and steps to make a digital mockup.
A free mockup photo file (visit the link in the resources to sign up through my newsletter).
Additional resource links.
A layered file and jpeg photo of YOUR final mockup image.
Your mockup can be used
On your social channels, website, blog, portfolio, lookbook or brand guide.
To pitch your art and story to publications you admire.
Paired with detail and in-progress shots of your work, to give your community a well rounded story of your process and a window into your lifestyle.
As cover photos for videos or paired with other images of your work in slideshow videos.
I called this class decorate like an artist because having poured over.hundreds of home tours, and design publications, I've learned vignettes are works of art in themselves. Like art, they are an experiment. They express something, evoke an emotional response, and help us connect.
As an artist and decorator, I'll help you deconstruct the anatomy of an effective vignette and demystify the process of creating one for your art.
