Structure of Blooming Banners
We have three levels, starting with the basics an getting more complicated as you go.
Based on your starting example (or no example), we place you in the most appropriate level.
Most people start in either Level 1 or 2, and work their way through the program.
By the time you finish Level 3 and graduate from our program, you will be a well-seasoned banner artist!
The over all time it takes to complete our program depends on the student but it generally takes 3 - 4 weeks.

I would like to be part of it but based on my examples, am I a teacher or student? Go to the busy bee banners and you will find my banner example on the last post.

Edit: I am soooo sorry I didn't see the last post

Hi there, it's totally fine. I think I have enough reserved posts :) Regarding the teacher/student thing, I think you would be a student entering at Level 3. As you can see, this is still not completely set up yet, so I will notify you when it will start. So glad you're interested!

What are your strengths and weaknesses: I can:
Round corners off
Put shadows underneath fonts
Use special and cool fonts
I like to prefect my banners and give 110%
Use transparent images
Create my own images
Make smaller banners to go in signatures (e.g my signature)
(I could list a few more things, but those are my special skills)
Unfortunately, I can't think of any things I can't do. (this is not me trying to boast)

Program used to make banners: Canva, but I sometimes use SumoPaint or SVE (Scratch Vector Editor) depending on what the order or request is

OK, but am I going to be learning like the same things that I just completed (I'm a banner maker now at BBB!) for the assignments that LoLa gave me?

Looking at your banners at BBB again, I actually think you can be a mentor here. I am going to assign you to Level 1. Please read over their assignments. I will notify you when someone new joins the level. There will be bi-weekly check-ins and activity checks so make sure you are active! So glad to have you on our team!

But don't you think that maybe mentors should make up the assignments to what they actually think is better? Btw I think my student is OwenRich.

About the assignment thing, yes I know that's what some trainings do, but here I want to make sure every student graduates with the same knowledge and the way I can regulate that is making all of the assignments the same. Of course, every student will interpret it differently so they will be a lot of fun to give feedback on!
