Workshop Description: Short on time, but want maximum exposure to an array of tooling techniques? This demo is built exactly for that. Instead of slowing down for a guided project, Swift will work at full speed in a live demonstration, showing every technique exactly as he uses it in his own award-winning work and explaining as he works. Students will watch a flowing design take shape using bold contrast, dramatic depth, and heavy texture — all in one focused session. Because nothing is held back or simplified, this class offers a rare chance to see a wide range of advanced techniques in a short amount of time. It’s the fastest way to understand what professional-level tooling actually looks like in real time, making it perfect for students who want the biggest takeaway without committing to longer classes.
Materials to bring: Note taking materials.
