One good thing that’s come out of the course for me is proof of design capabilities and the desire to create even more different websites.

I've been looking to make a career shift into graphic design, and taking this course has helped me tremendously. It's strengthened both my technical skills and my confidence as a designer.

I took the Graphic Design Course because as a very recent post grad that graduated with a BFA in Illustration and is still preparing her illustration portfolio, I decided to pivot to design or at least expand my scope to design. I wanted to continue my education and learn something a bit more practical.

I would say go for it to anyone thinking about taking the course. As a starting point in my design journey, it was very helpful.

One good thing that’s come out of this course for me is that I really feel like I can immediately use the skills that I learnt in this course to grow in my design career.

I loved getting feedback from Sarah and Mindy! It felt great to get feedback from experienced professionals who do this work for a living. Their comments and suggestions went a long way. Taking the course without them just would have left me feeling uncertain of if what I was making would actually survive in the "real design world."

I can see the uplift in my designing immediately after completing the modules and becoming more familiar with the tools. My colleagues have noticed too!

I've come out of the course feeling confident enough to say 'I'm a graphic designer' which is something I never would have believed at the start of the course!

The sessions didn’t feel too long or exhausting, it was well paced and entertaining as well. I liked his way of explaining things simply, it felt so real (more than teachers at uni, that’s for sure) and I now feel more confident because I can picture better the clients expectations, the workflow, the final results delivery.

One good thing that’s come out of the course for me is that I have a deeper understanding of the key aspects of digital marketing and advertising. Understanding the funnel and how each step is represented across different advertising techniques was super beneficial.

I loved how practical the course is is, how it was never boring, and I loved that I could sense ilovecreatives actually wants more designers in the world. This course wasn't gatekeeping anything! It was generous in EVERY sense possible.

I've been a fan of James’ design work for a long time, so getting to learn from him directly was such a gift. The classes were fun and I came away truly inspired. What’s next for me in social design is taking my design studio to the next level!

My advice for anyone thinking about taking the course is DO IT! I feel confident approaching brands and introducing myself as a marketer now.
