Who is this course for?

We’ve had hundreds of students take this course and they all come from different backgrounds. This is what a few of our students said before taking the course:

I want to be a designer.

I’m entirely new to the design world. I’ve always been curious about it and want to make the leap into becoming a designer. I just don’t know where to start!

I want to improve my design process.

I’m new to freelance. I want to sharpen my design process, get a better handle on my workflow and client communication skills!

I want to start a business.

I’ve got a rad business idea. I consider myself pretty creative and have a strong idea of how I want the brand to look. I want to take a stab at branding it myself, but I have no design experience!

I'm a recent grad.

I just graduated design school. I've got design skills, but how do I turn that into a career?

I'm an employee.

I currently have a full-time job that sometimes includes graphic design asks. I want to learn how to design real world assets quickly for my team.

I’m fun-employed.

I was laid off from a job in a field that I don't think I even want to be in. I really want to explore this world to see if I should pursue it.

Sure, you can youtube tutorials OR you can follow a super fun step-by-step curriculum with actual on-the-job deliverables, not just some “cool effect”.

“I didn’t have a mentor at my job to teach me how professionals approach design with a strategic mindset.” - Dani

“I feel good calling myself a graphic designer. And, I already have more freelance work because of my portfolio!” - Jake

Amarelda Llukaj

My favorite thing about the course is the hands on approach that allows me to learn by creating and experimenting. If you're thinking about taking the course, I would say go for it. Stay committed, practice often, and don't compare yourself to others. Growth comes from showing up and applying what you learn.

Jessy Castillo

The Graphic Design Course felt like an all-in-one wonderland: an online community and cohort of fellow students, a truly robust curriculum, and so many resources on how to revamp my entire process. The recruiter call and portfolio review process has been everything! Knowing what to share in a portfolio, what details recruiters are looking for, and how to better tell the story of each project in an efficient and engaging way is so instrumental. I now have a portfolio I'm proud of and a clearer idea of how to position myself when sharing my work.

Francesca Liu

The course was super comprehensive and covered topics in a clear, organized sequence that was easy to understand. I started from having absolutely no clue how to tackle a graphic design project, to having my portfolio website up and running — with projects I worked on!

Amy Liu, Founder of Tower28

I truly believe in investing in your people, especially when there are great resources like ilovecreatives. In a small organization, there isn’t always the opportunity to learn from others so ilovecreatives gave our design employees a chance to network with other likeminded professionals, learn from the class, and also be inspired. There was a noticeable improvement in the quality and thoughtfulness of her work! Not only with design, but with presentation. Everyone on the team agrees!

Stew Caldo & Apphia Castillo, Round Two Agency

The graphic design course that ilovecreatives has built serves not only as a precursor training for soon-to-be designers, but also as a refresher to bring creative teams closer. We look at this course now as couples therapy for creative directors and their designers — a fun, but educational course to get you both communicating in a healthier way 🫶
