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.

This course is definitely for the creative, neurodivergent thinkers! The edutainment gives us novelty, the Discord community creates belonging, the Custom Site is a fun challenge, you get rewards (digital cookies) that you can redeem for code snippets and extra reviews, and the Notion workbook is where you get all that “cross off your to-do list” dopamine.

My favorite thing about the course was the tone. It really felt like I was learning a lot but in such a playful way. That made it so easy to absorb the material and want to jump into the videos / homework after doing a 8 hours at a day job.

I feel like James is so confident about his work and the way he presents his designs and decisions as well. This was a great opportunity to see him design and take that into my own creative life. He also very helpful in responding to any questions and giving feedback. I would love to his process more, or live walkthroughs of his designs if there will be future bootcamps and maybe less of the foundation stuff.

I loved the structure of the course, how we followed the marketing funnel and tactics that best suit each level. I liked the breakdown of information into bite sized lessons and sections.

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.
