Virtual | Ages 13-18
Join MODA for a virtual Afterschool Studio and get started designing unique and impactful T-shirts and merchandise.
In this virtual studio, young designers will learn how to translate ideas into visual concepts, as they explore color schemes, typography, and layout to create captivating T-shirt designs. They’ll use Canva’s digital tools to manipulate graphics, align elements precisely, and ensure high-quality printing results. We’ll also discuss design-related careers, industry trends, and the skills needed to succeed.
We’ll share our work at the end of the studio and practice giving kind and constructive feedback!
