Last April, I realized I needed to make some changes to how I ran my CZ Classes. I wanted a better experience for my students and today the site is launched and ready. I could rattle on but instead I created this video overview of how the new site works, along with a peek inside the classrooms. Ready? Okay!
I will be emailing all currently enrolled students of Me: The Abridged Version and Digi Basics with Cathy Z with the links to access your courses on the new site. You will all be asked to register and then going forward, no more PDFs with complicated passwords and links. One site. One dashboard. Your courses.
You must be a student to register. Meaning, if you purchase a class, only then are you able to register as a user of the site. Only students can register as users. Current CZ Classes students will be receiving links from me via email to register for classes they already own.
Note: CZ Classes is not affiliated with Big Picture Classes. If you took a class with me there in the past, your log in will not work here on my new classes site. The only classes I’m currently offering from my days at Big Picture Classes are Me: the Abridged Version for Project Life and Ten Tips for Better Type. I may be adding Clean & Simple Scrapbooking in 2016, but I am focusing on creating new classes for this site.
If you are not a current student but would like to keep up to date with me, CZ Design and everything else, please subscribe to my newsletter.
I am here to help sort it all out! If you have taken the following courses in the past, email me with proof of purchase and I’ll get you access to the classes on this site.
• Ten Tips for Better Type
• Me: The Abridged Version for Project Life (from 2014, not the earlier versions)
Again, I’m here to help sort out all of my current students and will help you get set up in the new classroom! There will be some glitches here and there, so please be patient and I will get to the bottom of any issue you are having.
SPEAKING OF NEW… What would a site launch be without a new e-course?
Ten Tips for Better Type, a self-paced e-course, is now live! Save 10% off the registration price through September 30. Check out the course description page for more information. If you have taken Ten Tips with me in the past, email me for course access! All you need is proof of registration. A screen shot of your course listing from Big Picture Classes will suffice. I watched the first of the three lecture videos last night and you know what? I still love this class. Why? I love type and I care how people use it!
COMING NEXT WEEK: Enrollment for my 30 Days of Thankful e-course goes live!
SPECIAL THANKS: To Shawn at Bello Vio Design House. You get me and what I do. Thank you!

Great site! It’s totally user friendly and I’ve finished Lesson 1 without any glitches. Can I just say that if anyone can teach me how to use PSE, it’s you! I’m so much more confident using it now. And really? I’ve learned everything through taking all of your classes AND through all the tips and tricks you post every now and then. Thank you!
Cathy Zielske says
Whew! So happy to hear this. 🙂
Elizabeth says
Congratulations! And three cheers for the independent approach : )
Cathy Zielske says
Thanks, lady!
Karen C. says
I too am loving the site! So easy to use. I started the class last night and got part way through lesson 1. The videos are clear, concise and easy to hear. None of that “talking to fast”! (I hate that!) Thanks too for the coupon to Designer Digitals, I’ve already used it to purchase three new CZ products! (Please note: I only used one space in the message!) 🙂
Cathy Zielske says
YES!!! One. Space! The class works! 😉

Helen says
I took your Type class at BPC, but I have no idea how to find the proof that I took it. Can you help please?
Cathy Zielske says
Helen, if you go to my.bigpictureclasses.com and log into your old Big Picture account, you’ll see your course listings. Just take a screen shot of that and send it to me. 🙂
Mary Hancock says
Cathy, the new site looks great & it’s so easy to navigate. Ten Tips for Better Type is the class I’ve been waiting for. I registered this evening & I can’t wait to get started. Thanks for all your hard work. It’s greatly appreciated!
Cathy Zielske says
Helen, if you go to my.bigpictureclasses.com and log into your old Big Picture account, you’ll see your course listings. Just take a screen shot of that and send it to me. 🙂
Cheryl Walker says
Cathy, I just signed up for the Type class. Thank you again! You make my pages look fabulous! Also wanted to thank you for your great templates! I just finished a 48-page Day-in-The-Life album for my daughter and used your Monthly Add-On templates to make it. It came out really nice!
Cathy Zielske says
That is great to hear, Cheryl! 🙂
Bridget says
Newbie here on your FABULOUS new site. Just signed up to your new class “Ten Tips For Better Type” can’t wait to get started as I love typography.
Cathy Zielske says
I love newbies! 🙂
Paige says
Can you please do the Jumpstart class again or something like it? I’ve lost access to the BP course and I’m trying to get excited again.
thanks!
Cathy Zielske says
I’m definitely toying with that idea!
