Digital Billboards Workshop with Michelle Brace

Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include lunch, drinks and snacks!

Through a hands-on process of building up a colourful collage using images, text, acrylic markers and collage papers you will create a design for your billboard that can be re-mixed and added to in Procreate on the iPad (supplied for use in the workshop). Your digital design will be uploaded into a mock-up app so that you can see your work displayed, in its full creative glory, in its street location (think bus stop display or large-scale advertising hoarding).

You can expect to come away from the day with skills in digital mixing, editing and an experience of working with layers and layer masks but, if you prefer just to collage, that is awesome too. You will still be able to create your own digital billboard! The session will include a playful exploration of words and text so that, if you like, you can get your message out there along with your awesome creativity via your billboard. Your digital designs will be shared digitally after the workshop and an A4 printed copy of your digital billboard will be given to you to take home.

This workshop is for 10-16 year olds only. If you feel your child requires additional support in the form of adult attendance in order to access this workshop, contact us by emailing katie.puls@suffolklibraries.co.uk.
