Design Your Own Drag Character!

Guy Anabella

NOV 08 • 11:30 - 12:15 PM

Meridian Hall — Castlepoint Numa Lounge

Join Guy Anabella, drag queen and Professor of Creativity & Communications at Sheridan College, in this playful workshop where you'll create your own unique drag persona.

This session is designed for graphic designers and anyone interested in the art of drag, with a primary focus on queer folk but open to allies as well. You do not need to imagine yourself as the opposite gender; the focus is on creative expression and character development.

Participants will engage in brainstorm sprints, interactive discussions, and creativity exercises that highlight inclusivity and queer expression. Apply your design skills in color theory, typography, and visual storytelling to develop a cohesive drag persona. Devices are recommended to help with inspiration.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a comprehensive plan for your drag character and a deeper understanding of how creativity in drag and graphic design intersect.
