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.
Read MoreI learned that I actually enjoy doing the reporting way more than I expected. I’ve always hated numbers lol, but seeing whether what I’m doing is working (or not working) is super interesting. I feel 100× more confident in my current job and in starting my own business.
Read MoreI really valued having the opportunity to receive feedback and suggestions. As someone who wants to succeed in this new career journey, I found it incredibly encouraging and helpful to discover fresh ways to refine my ideas and grow, especially by learning from those with such rich experience in the field. The course gave me confidence in my abilities. Since it includes practical learning and real-world expectations, it makes me feel genuinely prepared and excited to showcase my work and put myself out there.
Read MoreThe 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!
Read MoreMy favorite thing about the course is Section 1 and 4. Freelancing section and Resources are extremely helpful. I love working with templates, because it gives me a base to work on.
Read MoreThis course enabled me to get creative and find my voice as an aspiring copywriting/freelancer. I learned that I really enjoy using words to captivate an audience and evoke a particular feeling. I feel more confident in my copywriting abilities now, and I am excited to keep growing!
Read MoreMy advice for someone thinking about taking the course is be authentic and confident in your own work. Don’t compare yourself to others, everyone has their own strengths and you have yours. Always think of the positives and don’t let anything drag you down from pursuing the very best version of yourself. Most of all, enjoy the course and be your true creative self!
Read MorePuno’s teaching style and the course materials were beautifully designed, thoughtfully structured, and fun, making coding and website design feel approachable and exciting on a whole new level. I also enjoyed getting a chance to revisit and explore my design work, while receiving wonderful insights. It is really encouraging and inspiring to create in such a space. The course has given me a great opportunity to build my studio website and the confidence to expand on my creative career. I am also very grateful for the lovely community that I have had the chance to meet through ilovecreatives.
Read MoreMy advice to anyone trying to take the course is do it! It's worth it even if it takes time to finish. The discord is useful, the newsletters and community as a whole just makes you feel less alone <3 One good thing that came out of the course was it really helped anchor what I already know and where I have room for improvement. I'm more confident messing with css and offering a unique vision of a website!
Read MoreComing in with no experience is difficult! You might have to do some digging around to help you before taking this course and moving forward through it. My favorite thing was the style of the videos having text popups. That was super useful. And the bonus content and resources whenever I needed.
Read MoreOne of the main reasons I love this course so much is how it made learning motion design so easy—especially for someone like me who tends to get frustrated when things don’t click right away 👀. The way they taught After Effects and Cinema 4D made everything feel soooo much more digestible and intuitive. I kept thinking, “Wait, it’s actually this easy to learn?!” "Wait, I can do this?!?" — especially in the 3D Design and Animation section! Mind blown moment that's for sure. 🤯
Read MoreMy favorite thing about the course was being able to apply what I was learning as my current path in Digital Marketing was starting. It let me offer clients a Digital Snooping, Meta Ads set-up and even opened the doors to new opportunities! I’ve achieved pivoting from a completely opposite career (Science) into MKT thanks to this!!
Read MoreI think I learned about myself mostly during section 2; planning and visualizing how I wanted certain content to look/feel like and planning out content shoots was so much fun!
Read MoreThe part of the course that I've learned a lot about myself was coming up with my creative pillars as well as when I got to go out and shoot. My creative pillars allowed me to really think about what I enjoy and how I would evoke that in my work. Shooting allowed me to understand how to communicate with the model and how I should improve on that.
Read MoreI took the 3D Blender Course to add another creative practice to my belt, to be able to pitch murals more realistically, and to further develop my creativity. Through the entire thing I was surprised at how fast I was learning. I haven't had the best track record with studying but I found Blender super intuitive and easy to navigate. It was really fun and aesthetically pleasing. I enjoyed every section!
Read MoreI learned a lot about myself by the end of Section 2 (Design Process); the assignments taught me a lot about designing with intention, and through trial & error and a lot of practice, I actually learned a lot about how I can make the process easier and smoother for myself the next time around!
Read MoreI have always found reporting to be one of my weaknesses, but the way Joellen explained the metrics section made it much more manageable! I really loved the video sizes of the course. Super bite-sized and easy to get through. (Even though it took me five-ever, sorry. Personal things, y'know?!)
Read MoreAll of our best projects come from ilovecreatives!!!! Without exaggeration, being on your platform has been the single best decision we've made in the past two years. Our flagship commercial that we completed this year was also through ilovecreatives.
Read MoreAlex does an amazing job explaining everything in a way that is fun and engaging and because everything is broken down in sections the amount of information doesn't feel overwhelming. Also he is really funny and throughout the course he has such a super friendly warm vibe.
Read MoreI started posting on social media and have ended up gaining clients through there. I also have taken on 2 social media clients within the past month where I am able to implement my learnings!
