No Money, No Design Skills, No Problem

Visual communication is more important now than ever because our audience is fractured, tired and resource starved. They need succinct, easy to absorb content to do their jobs. Clear, compelling infographics have proven to be one of the best transfer methods. According to 3M, using the right graphic increases the likelihood of success by 43%. Making complex content easy to quickly understand is critical to survive and flourish in our industry but how do we do it?

Join Mike Parkinson in this high energy, mind-blowing webinar and learn how to make professional graphics quickly—no design skill needed. All participants get free tools which include 1,800 icons and symbols as well as the popular Graphic Cheat Sheet. Make your job easier and get even better at what you do. Sign up for and attend Mike’s high-rated talk, “No Money, No Design Skills, No Problem.”

I want to take a specific course that isn't listed online. Will it be offered in the future?

STC rotates its courses every year as we try to offer the most popular ones within the first half of the year. Online courses are subject to change or are offered more than once per quarter. If a course is not listed, STC will offer it again in the following year.
