THE MYSTERY OF MONOGRAMS
Bailey Rivera, Instructor
Who doesn't love a monogram? You know when they're even better? When it's designed for you, by you! This class demystifies the process of designing monograms, using a step-by-step method for creating a balanced and beautiful 3 letter design. Whether your style is traditional, modern, flourish-y or somewhere in between, you’ll come away with a design (or 5) that you’ll want to put on EVERYTHING.
Designing monograms can be a bit of a mystery but learning this tried and true method will help you to have the confidence to create them all by yourself! We will walk through each step in class, spending time discussing and demoing the process in details. You will be guided along with your own design as we build the artwork week by week. In the end, you’ll have a finished monogram design of your own to be proud of!
Monograms are often a desired design element in wedding suites as well as branding packages so being able to offer this service can help grow your business and clientele. Over the years, I’ve done many designs that have been used from invitations to dance floors to store signage and everywhere in between. The amazing part of monograms is their versatility!
