A record of the courses Negar teaches, and a growing showcase of the work her students create in each one. Student galleries fill in as each cohort's work is added.
The building blocks of visual communication — colour, hierarchy, composition, and the design process from brief to final artwork.
Building on the fundamentals with brand systems, complex layouts, and a portfolio-ready capstone project.
The art and rules of type — anatomy, pairing, spacing, and expressive lettering that gives words a voice.
Type classification as an object — card decks, sleeves, and folded sets that teach the categories by hand.
Designing with grids, rhythm, and white space — posters, editorial spreads, and multi-page publications.
Turning information into clear, beautiful visuals — charts, icons, and data narratives that communicate at a glance.
From early type to the digital age — the movements, designers, and ideas that shaped the field, and how to draw on them.




Creating art digitally — from sketch to finished illustration, with the tools and techniques of a modern studio.









Designing for the laser cutter — turning vector drawings into engraved, pierced, and layered objects in wood and acrylic.














Building images from paths — the pen tool, shape-building, gradients, and pattern, worked up into finished vector illustrations.
