The school project started in August. In this article, we will provide a short report on the final school session, which was held on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, highlighting some of the participants' works.

Report

Students will be asked to create and submit a flyer for a fictional beach clean-up event as homework beforehand. On the day of the event, Shibuya will provide comments on the selected assignments.

In the final session in October, the finished flyers were reviewed and critiqued.
Thank you to everyone who submitted challenges!

Introducing the submitted works

Matsuyuka

Let's compare it with the work submitted in September. The font has been changed and the overall work has been adjusted!

Shibuya-san

By choosing a more mature font, the message of this "environmentally friendly event" comes through more than just being pop. It's also great that they've made an effort to offer variety!
Yellow shadows on small text can make it look cluttered.

Matsuyuka

Sometimes overthinking things can lead to a cluttered design and result in failure, so I try to focus on organizing the most important points and information and value simplicity.

Whenever I have time, I try to create multiple proposals. It was a very informative and interactive seminar. I had a great time, thank you very much.

Many of the people featured this time, like Matsuyuka, have posted multiple times, making this the final episode where you can really see the improvement in the quality of their work!

A must-see for self-taught designers! A professional teaches you the efficient process of creating "communicative design" (Seminar Report)

When you design, do you just start working on Illustrator? In fact, in the professional world, it's rare to start working on an application right away. So how do professionals put together their designs?
