This DEX is not for beginners, there is much assumed knowledge. Circle back around to this DEX when you are at an intermediate level.

Intermediate

We designed our campaign using a bagel so maybe you can design yours using a burger or a hot dog. Choose something simple to start with and follow our instructions to create similar assets for your own brand. For your assets use PSD mockups AND stock imagery.

Advanced

Design a new logo from scratch. For your assets use PSD mockups and stock imagery. If you are a The Graphic Design School Student or Graduate use your studio photoshoot skills you've learnt from the Module 6 Photography Assignment and feel free to create your own mockups using smart objects in Photoshop.
