LICENSING + COLLABORATION
HIGHLIGHTS FROM MODULE ONE:
In this module you'll get a complete understanding of what licensing is and how the business works. Julie and Jenna guide you through mental preparation and encouragement for your process and the mindset required in the licensing industry.
You'll also get an inside look at how a licensing project develops and what proofs and digital files look like when sent to licensees (the brand you're collaborating with). And before you start creating work and pitching to contacts, it's important you discover and develop your signature style so you can stand out. Julie and Jenna share insights about how to develop and hone your signature style as a surface pattern designer, how to determine your dominant themes in licensing and how to create work that sells.
