File Organization and Sell Sheet Design with Procreate Adobe Photoshop, Dropbox and Airtable

When just starting out as an illustrator in 2007 I had zero system for taking care of my digital files, my portfolio, and my over all business. It was a hot mess to say the least! In 2015 I got my act together by starting to get my business organized. Everything from my digital files, my back up system and started to build a database for myself so that I could easily understand what art I've designed, the contacts I have made and the deals that I have landed. I am so very excited to share my process with you in this class. Having a simple system for your business that you can easily keep up with that isn't too overwhelming has personally helped me so much and I hope it will help you as well. Let's get organized!
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?:
All illustrators, artists or surface designers of any level who don't feel like you have a system for all the artwork you are creating and would like to learn how to create a simple and effective way of organizing. As well as would like to feel confident in knowing how to prepare a professional final file to future clients.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
Supplies you will need to create the class project:
Your art in digital file format. Doesn't matter which program you use to create your artwork. I personally use Procreate. Both Photoshop and Illustrator are industry standard.
A desktop computer.
Back up external harddrive and/or Dropbox or other cloud storage service.
Adobe Photoshop. (I personally use Procreate and Photoshop but you can easily adapt everything to Adobe Illustrator if that is your program of choice.
Airtable, a free account. No need to upgrade to the paid version.
