How to Art Direct Your Newsletter, the class
Your newsletter can look as good as it reads.
In this live online class, you’ll learn how to think like a professional art director — and use those skills for your own publication, even without a big budget or visual background.
What we’ll cover:
- How to develop a signature art direction for your publication
- Where to find free and low-cost image libraries
- How to stay copyright-safe and avoid claims
- Production best practices for optimal reader UX
- How to make collages and composite images
- How to apply your art direction to other platforms
You’ll leave with a clear sense of how to develop your publication’s visual voice, a toolkit of go-to resources, and the confidence to art direct every post yourself.
The workshop includes a live Q&A and open discussion via Google Meet, so bring your questions. You’ll get a copy of the slides after the session wraps.

Testimonials
“This class will teach you how to look at your Substack design through an art director's eye. It was super helpful for understanding newsletter strategy even when you aren't a full-time writer. I really appreciated the practical examples that were shared and look forward to other classes!” — DianaSign up for May 21 session
