Katie Vernon Make Art That Sells Brighton event poster design competition - winner announced!

Brighton event poster design competition – winner announced!

As a one-off special assignment in our current Make Art That Sells Bootcamp class, we recently challenged class participants to design a poster for our upcoming LIVE event in Brighton, UK, in June, ‘Make Art That Sells: The Global Art Gathering’. We were absolutely blown away by the response, and it was a difficult decision for Lilla, her studio ladies and our guest judge Judy Stevens, founder of Artists Open Houses Brighton. After much deliberation they decided that the winner would be KATIE VERNON, whose stunning poster design completely captured the character of Brighton, a buzzing creative city on the South Coast of England.


Top tips for creating a presentation that will knock the Art Director’s socks off…

This is a guest blog post by Margo Tantau, VP of Creative at MidwestCBK Margo has co-written our brand new course, MATS: Creating Collections for Home Décor, with Lilla Rogers. She will also be speaking at MATS: The Global Art Gathering, our LIVE event in Brighton UK this June. So what could I share with you that could take your work from good to fabulous (and even more commercial)? Well, I’ve been creating and selling Home Décor products for years, and my very favorite thing to do is to help grow the careers of creative people. So to that end… I have a few pointers and things for you to think about.
