The Moneymaker BootCamp
Have you ever wondered why some prints have that professional look and feel and why others do not? In this three part course I share how to improve your existing prints using the seven elements of design.
In this boot camp we focus on why certain prints work, why others do not and how you can implement design elements to make each print, specifically your moneymaker print, a slam dunk.
What is a moneymaker print you ask? A moneymaker print is that main print in your collection that draws customers and buyers into your booth, website or portfolio. Since this is the main print in your collection, it is imperative that it has that wow factor that buyers will find irresistible.
These lessons, tools, tips and tricks are going to give your prints that wow factor that will change the way you think about designing prints in patterns.

As a beginner in Textile Design, these courses were a good start for me. Michelle discussed the foundations of design with great examples. Definitely worth revisiting!
Excellent information to Consider!
