“Would you like to create a jaw-dropping portfolio?”

In only six-weeks time, we will show you how to move your design skills out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary! The techniques we cover in this class will help you enhance your presentations and showcase your virtual design abilities.

In the Advanced Program, we’ll expose experienced users to techniques and tools, which add polish, depth, and dimension to a rendering. We’ll discuss working with difficult photographs, adding shadows and dimension to an illustration, applying advanced fills, drawing your own custom furniture and window treatments, working in perspective, and so much more. You’ll receive live, via the Internet, hands-on time with our renowned expert instructor and design specialist, Merlyn Corcoran.

In the Advanced Level program, we’ll move at a bit faster pace than the Novice Program since everyone has a basic working knowledge of the computer and Studio. The six-week program will expand your skills and show you innovative ways to use Studio to market your company.
