Bizhan Khodabandeh is representing There Once Was A Rebellion (T.O.W.A.R.) by hosting a flyer design workshop as part of a workshop series in conjunction with Richmond's second annual May Day Parade. The workshops will be held today and tomorrow.
I encourage people to participate in as many workshops as they want. Participants are not required to participate in the parade to attend the workshops. More info about the rest of workshops and the May Day Parade is available here.
Info about our workshop
Title: Introduction To DIY Flyer Design
Description: The first job of flyer design is to retain an audience’s attention. It is arguable that the average person spends 11 seconds deciding whether or not they want to ignore a flyer – when in passing. There are several design tools available to aid one in acquiring the attention of your audience. This workshop will go over several of these rules and provide a mini exercise to practice composition.
This workshop assumes that people have access to a word processor, a printer or copier, a pair of scissors or exacto knife, paper and glue. Materials will be provided.
Facilitator: Bizhan Khodabandeh
