Why you should come
One of the biggest things we’ve been missing in this time of social distancing is meeting new people with like-minded interests at group events. The solution? #connectedbydesignvcc
1. Meet people and network
You won’t just be listening to someone talk on your screen for two hours. We’ve designed our activities specifically around discussions and collaborative challenges that will help you connect with other design enthusiasts like yourself.


2. Get Inspired
In between connecting with other attendees through discussion and creation activities, you’ll get your creative engines fuelled with short talks and demonstrations from a variety of industry professionals.

3. Win Cool Prizes
To make our fast-paced interactive program even spicier, we’ll be giving out random door prizes throughout the event, and you can even win additional prizes in our real-time creative challenge.

Live Illustration Demo
Collin Chan is a Canadian artist, Corel Painter Master Elite and award winning filmmaker who’s artwork can be seen on most social media platforms.
His realistic approach to digital and traditional artwork (including acrylic, oil, inks, watercolour and other mixed mediums) explores themes of humanity, truth and life.
He has done art for companies including Wacom, Anker, Corel Painter, Zhiyun Tech, Moza, Olloclip, Insta360, Pentel Pens, Daler Rowney and much more.
Our Unique Program
This isn’t your average online event. We’ve used our expertise in education and online learning design to put together an engaging program that will get you interacting with other design lovers on the fly.
Guided Group Discussions
Let the inspiration from our quick talks spill over into small breakout group discussions where you can connect with new people over your passions, insights, and questions.
A Collaborative Creative Challenge
Meet some new friends and create something together! Towards the end of the event, once we’re loosened up from our discussions and inspiring talks, we’ll break into small groups for a real-time creative challenge designed to get you thinking (and laughing) together. Best group wins a prize!

Who’s behind the event?
We are professional educators from the Graphic Design Diploma program at VCC, and we wanted to use our expertise in online learning to help inspire and connect our design community during these isolating times.
To give back even more, we’re donating 100% of our ticket sales to VCC’s COVID-19 Emergency Bursary Fund to help VCC students in need.
Space is limited!
