Virtual
Ages 12-18
Join MODA for a virtual studio in which students will create a futuristic city tourism postcard of an imagined city.
In this virtual studio, young designers will explore how color, typography, architecture, and layout work together to communicate a sense of place. Students will brainstorm the culture and identity of their future city, sketch iconic buildings or districts, and use Canva to design a polished postcard that highlights what makes their city a destination. At the end of the studio, students can share their posters and receive feedback in a supportive environment.
In this Afterschool Studio, we’ll:
Explore how designers communicate place and identity through visual style
Study how postcards use composition and text to highlight key features
Use Canva to design a tourism postcard for a futuristic city
Create buildings, landmarks, and visual elements that reflect future architecture.
Provide a space to share and provide constructive feedback
Practice collaboration, inclusivity, creative courage, imaginative problem-solving, storytelling, and critical thinking
Tech Needs:
