You will also learn techniques in photography and how best to use the Adobe suite, the right typography and fonts that go with fashion editorials. I will also have some guests who are professionals in this field to discuss with you and in turn, you can ask questions too in a live class.

    About Nancy O.

    Nancy is a Nigerian-American based in Illinois. I have a BFA in Product Development and an MA in Art Direction from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, California. I started my journey into fashion in 2016 where I have the expertise of how to construct garments, and sketch collections and also a clear understanding of manufacturing. Armed with this knowledge I decided to venture into Art Direction as this is rather a new area in fashion, where I have done some ad campaigns, editorial shoots, and e-commerce as a freelance art director for Aura Magazine and Enzomnia Magazine. At this point, I am working on writing a book and moving to my next academic adventure by applying for a PhD in African History which will enhance my job as an Art Director.
