Design for the mock social media app "Simply Social" using the assets below, or design for a real-life business. You just need (1) Photoshop or Sketch and (2) a free Invision account, available at InVisionApp.com.

Marketing for Artists: Learn the Top 5 Marketing Mistakes Artists & Creatives Make (Skillshare)

I’ve been working with artists and creatives to get the word out about their work for more than 12 years. I’ve been on both sides of the fence, as a blogger, handmade shop owner, craft show vendor and digital marketing specialist. I created MissMalaprop.com in 2006 as a place to spread the word about artists I loved. It's evolved since then, and I later ran my own e-commerce shop, where I sold my own handmade work alongside that of other artists.
