***Update! If you want to make a banner with us today, here are the steps you should follow before the workshop:

  1.  Download and install GIMP (it's free!).
  2.  Get a nice photo(s) ready to use in your banner.
  3.  Download a free font that you like from dafont.  (Install it if you know how — if not we'll be covering this in the workshop). ***

Join us Wednesday, November 7th in the Virtual Labs, specifically the "marketing room" room at 3pm Eastern sharp for the next online Labs workshop!!! 

We will be talking all about simple and easy ways to make graphic designs for your shop.  Graphic design skills are useful for making your own banner, avatar, promotional badges that link back to your shop, business cards, post cards, as well as touching up and adding to your photos!

Don't foget to bring something to take notes with! 

See you there!

I would love to be there but I Live in a totally different time zone way up in Alaska, and I will be in school at the time of the workshop. I really need the guidance because I am new to etsy and I would like to set up an awesome shop and I feel that starts with a great banner. If I miss the workshop how can I get the useful information you guys are teaching? Thanks!

Just trying to navigate around etsy site as I'm new and found this page. Is this for a workshop held in 2007? Bit confused?! Could have done with this info as I'm thinking of setting up a shop.
