Description

Want to learn how to take your digital designs to the next level?

Welcome to my class my friends! In this class, I will be teaching you a unique style that has brought me my biggest clients and a few design/illustration awards and features: the Digital Paper Pop-Up Style.

Imagine the excitement you had as a child when opening your first pop-up book...now imagine providing that same excitement to your clients (or social account) while also providing additional levels of sophistication and the versatility of digital design. To learn how to achieve this standout look, we'll be covering:

Sketching and rendering your illustration in Adobe Illustrator.
Setting up ring light effects for extra pop and style.
Adding paper textures to your layers in Adobe Photoshop.
Creating depth and volume to achieve the 3D look.

Plus tons of digital design Tips & Tricks!

This particular look is one of the styles that stood out the most in my Instagram account (@fugstrator), and is probably the one that brought me the most success. I obviously have not invented this style, but I do make it in a way that has been specific to me for a while. Over the years I have appreciated my followers reaching out and asking me to teach them this particular way of execution. I am excited my friends to finally have this out there and see what you all do with it!

Instructor's Courses

Hello everyone, my name is Michael Fugoso... If you are familiar with my work you probably know me via my Instagram alias FUGSTRATOR .

I am an illustrator/designer originally from San Diego, now functioning in Austin, TX. I mainly do illustrative work for some of the largest aerospace companies out there, like NASA, Boeing, Blue Origin, Ariane Group and more. It doesn't end there though, as I've also done plenty of official illustrative work for massive companies like Adobe, Oracle, IBM, Salesforce, Volvo and many more.

Most of my life I wasn't in the professional artist/designer world... Through age 29 I lived what was perceived by many a 'normal life,' going through business school and eventually working as a banker. At age 30 the arts finally called to me and my life changed from there.

I am 37 years old now. In the 7 years of creating, illustrating a ton of space ships, rockets, jet planes, robots, etc... I luckily found what I love in this latter part of my life. I mainly started the move to Skillshare to teach you all everything I know, so hopefully you can get to your creative epiphany earlier than I did, and get to that professional level in as quick of a time-span of 5 years.
