We'll also cover how cohesive branding can extend to physical spaces, create immersive environments and maybe even win a Paragon Award. Whether you're a seasoned designer or a curious enthusiast, this webinar will inspire and inform.

Key Takeaways:

Learn how print design can complement your digital and multimedia efforts and tell a captivating story through compelling imagery.

Dwayne Allen, the Community College of Baltimore County's multimedia designer, will review the necessary steps for your next video production project. He'll break down the major differences between larger and smaller production projects, such as an institution’s holiday e-card versus a full-blown episode for a television series. 

  • The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Environmental Graphics:  Get tips on what to do and what not to do to achieve a successfully branded project. Jackie McTear, the Community College of Baltimore County's senior graphic designer, discusses her experience designing extensive environmental graphics projects. She‘ll walk you through the creation of CCBC’s Paragon gold-winning space, designed for Junior Achievement of Central Maryland's Finance Park, from beginning to end.
