Unit 1

Black and White

Start simple and focus on design, composition, storytelling, focal point, and control.

Work in a hybridized mix of analogue media (gouache) and digital (Photoshop/Procreate), or specialize in the medium you are most comfortable in.

Unit 2

Limited Color Palette

Explore color relationships within its limitations and how color can be used in storytelling and can add to your narrative.

Understand how saturation effects your palette, freeing your creation process as you overcome the difficulty. Lean the importance of mood and the emotional responses we have to color.

Unit 3

Full Color Palette

Now that you have developed a greater sense of control in how and when you use color in your work, you can push the boundaries with nuance and subtlety.


Apply creative solutions to your work and achieve self mastery in color.

Unit 4

Experimentation

Focus on your individual strengths and weaknesses as Brandon urges you towards the next steps in your progression.

Develop effective techniques which are unique to you as you mature in the program and find your artistic voice.
