In this virtual studio, young designers will explore how character design, visual hierarchy, and layout work together to communicate identity. Students will brainstorm their sidekick’s personality traits and role, sketch ideas for appearance and symbols, and use Canva to create a polished poster that highlights who their character is and what makes them stand out. At the end of the studio, students can share their posters and receive feedback in a supportive environment.
