Creative Clinic: Graphic Design

Monday April 20, 2026 4:10pm - 4:30pm EDT

The Graphic Design and Creative Writing Clinic offers a fast-paced, "makeover show" environment designed to polish your brand’s professional presence. Held as a drop-in clinic, you’ll receive 20 minutes of one-on-one consultation to refine both messaging and visual design. Attendees are encouraged to bring specific materials—such as website pages, social media bios, or Canva designs—to receive immediate, expert feedback. The focus remains on practical improvements, including visual hierarchy, mobile-first formatting, and ensuring your core message is clear within three seconds. You’ll walk away with specific rewrite suggestions, a short action checklist, and a "Design Do’s & Don’ts" guide to implement changes instantly.
