We have welcomed thousands of students to Summer School over the last six years, and have had the pleasure of helping designers all over the world to keep their summers energised, fun, and filled with creativity!
Each year we partner up with trend leaders to bring you cutting edge trend briefs, designed to help you push your creative boundaries and keep up your design momentum over the summer holidays. We are thrilled to share that our trends this year are from WGSN and the fab Porter & Brawn!
Here’s what you get with Summer School:
- A variety of tracks starting at just £22 – Beginner , Intermediate, and Advanced
- A selection of bundles if you want more than one track – two tracks for £38, or all three tracks for just £49!
- Two beautifully presented trend briefs per track, based on the hottest trends from WGSN and Porter & Brawn!
- Two creative exercises per track to help get you inspired
- Opportunities to expand your design portfolio and fill it with on-trend pattern work
- Access to our ever-growing online community, perfect for networking, professional advice, design tips, friendships and even future collaborations
- Gorgeous, high-resolution downloads from mock-up photography to desktop and mobile backgrounds!
Not only is Summer School a blast, each track comes with a chance to get your work published on our blog, website, social channels, and even in our online magazine MOYO! There are also tons of other fantastic prizes to be won, too!
