Banded Spaces for Graphic Designers

in SketchUp, through an Adobe lens.

You're already the master of communication. You take a brand — its story, its voice, its feeling — and make it speak. And often, you're already designing the graphics that live inside these spaces: the walls, the signage, the retail moment. So why stop at the surface? Branded spaces belong to architects and interior designers, and rightly so — they carry the knowledge of material and structure you don't have yet. But you don't need to replace them. On the right team, the designer who owns the brand and can think in space becomes a powerhouse.

I teach you the foundations of thinking in 3D — and show you that the design principles you already know still hold in space. With SketchUp, you learn to give your ideas dimension and bring them to life.

CORE PRINCIPLES
Thinking in Space
For Graphic Designers

    WHO THIS IS FOR
    Add the dimension your work is missing.

    For 2D designers who want range, not a new career. A touch of 3D makes everything better — environmental design, branded spaces, packaging, posters, infographics, or even landing pages. The work you already do, with depth.

    Not for game or character design.
