Be Your Own Graphic Artist! with Chris Northrup

May 3, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Be Your Own Graphic Artist! Join us at WACOM Experience Center! Chris Northrup will show us how to do our own graphics.

Ever wonder how writers get their awesome covers? Or how to create and publish your own graphic novels or magazines? Join us at WACOM Experience Center, 1455 NW Irving St. #110, Portland, OR 97209, on May 3rd at 7:00 PM and watch Chris Northrup walk us through book production using the Wacom tablet, InDesign, and Photoshop.

We are excited to make this our first in-person meeting since the beginning of the pandemic. But for those that feel uncomfortable gathering in groups, we will still be offering zoom access.

MASKING: Willamette Writers continues to require mask-wearing at our in-person, indoor meetings. If you are unable to mask, we invite you to join us at one of our online Chapter Meetings. Here is a link to our policies.
