Creativity Maximized

Once students develop the skills to use Photoshop to create custom artwork, they will apply those skills in a real-world business setting. Working as a team, students will design, produce, market, and sell custom products such as keychains, mugs, stickers, and other merchandise. Through this process, students will experience how creative ideas can move from concept to finished product while developing skills in design, collaboration, problem-solving, entrepreneurship, and marketing.
