Day 2 Wrap-Up
what else? Today it's been incredible. Let's start by giving Lisa around. So you did talk about what we're doing tomorrow. Do you want to go over a little bit more about that or you feel like you were just gonna dive in the magazine ands in newspaper ads and we're going to create a poster or two, and then we're gonna dive into photo books. So some of the advertisement and then some of it will be showing off your work to get additional work, right? All right. I'm just gonna read you a quote here from R E B Photo. Who says, You know, Lisa has made me think that I really can't do this. I was surprised at how much basic knowledge I already have, but just didn't know how to put it all together. So thank you. I thought that was cool. You're most welcome. So, like Lisa said earlier, competition is stiff out there for photographers. There are a lot of photographers, and I'm not really sure what it's like for those of you who are watching who aren't photographers, but definitely You know, you w...
ant to make sure that you're presenting your best self as far as your business goes when new clients come to find you. So Lisa's teaching us today how to, you know, basically put our best foot forward when it comes to graphic design, and she's basically holding our hands through this and saying This is what to do and this is what not to do. And I could see somebody buying this course and just going through it and pausing it and, you know, designing their own business card while you're on the screen and we're rewinding if they need Teoh or whatever. So this is an awesome tool. You can own any time access to this course for $149. It's $99 if you buy it today, it's $99 if you buy it tomorrow on the last day, Day three. But after that it goes back toe $149 so you can find that link down below your screen. Right now it's just a little buy button. So there you go. Perfect. Okay. And I want to tell you about upcoming course that is coming on. Creativelive. This is February 18 through 20 seconds, so it is an entire week of Mr John Gringo. So if you aren't familiar with John Gringos fundamentals of digital photography let me tell you about it for a second. I took the fundamentals course, I think, originally in 2010 and it changed my photography. So this its don't be fooled by the word fundamentals because advanced photographers learn something from this course as well. John goes into such detail and teaches you things that I kind of had gone over your head originally. Somehow, the man just has a way of teaching. I absolutely love this course. I cannot recommend it enough. It was a great great course for me a couple years ago, and I'm taking it twice since then, So I highly recommend it. Go to John Green, goes course page and sign up. And that way you'll get emails and reminders and updates and special offers about the course. So on that note, Lisa, thanks again very much. You have been also Thank you so much to our studio audience and thank you to all of you at home. Appreciate you watching. See you tomorrow. Same time, same place that's around

Ratings and Reviews

… exactly what I needed for current and upcoming projects! Actually, it was much MORE than I thought I needed. Once it all sank in, I realized just how much I didn’t know, but needed to know. The training is top-notch and very effective, and just to top that off with a cherry, Lesa Snider is the most engaging instructor with whom I’ve had the privilege to learn. I can’t recommend this course, Graphic Design for Everyone enough. … talk about “clicking” with an instructor… A self-professed Southern geek/nerd with a sense of humor is a darned near perfect click between that instructor and this student. I love to learn anyway, but Lesa Snider’s classes are a wonderful blend of fun that runs throughout the entire course of technically advanced concepts and application. Where do you find a course where you laugh as much as you learn (both massively)? … a Lesa Snider course. I’ve already put the course material to good use and look forward to using the class info and skills even more in future projects.

I've been a fan of CreativeLive for along time. I've attended many classes, but this is one of my most favorite sessions. I think Lesa is a great trainer and find I am learning a great deal. I liked it so much I actually purchased this course. I would watch any course she was part of. Great graphics design course and wonderful tips.

I enjoyed it very much. However, I hated that I could not pause or rewind,,,so I had no choice, had to purchase. :)Lesa is a terrific Instructor. She takes the hardship out of the learning process with her wonderful ever so friendly personality. She instead turns it into a joy and I enjoy very much her courses! Thank You Lesa!
