I took the Graphic Design College Program Course as I have been eyeing many different online design programs in hopes to advance my career in the design world. ilovecreatives fit a whole bunch of criteria I wasn't even looking for initially such as a network of all the creatives in their courses, newsletters with a variety of jobs, and *tons* of workshops and panels to industry professionals! Not to forget, having a scholarship available to apply with the course really helped me financially!

My design has felt like it really evolved over the course, and I couldn't be prouder of myself. I never quite understood how to go about color and typography and what all the beginner tutorials online talked about, so to learn that something like a simple illustration could be mean much more, was astounding. This growth I felt in myself really encouraged me to put myself out more, reach out to every opportunity with enthusiasm, because I know it could lead to so many more connections.

I felt like I was guided through all the right steps of how to present a design project. Each section really helped me understand the flow and process from designing to presenting to finances all while letting my creativity shine!

I'd highly recommend taking this course because of how easy the sections are to follow, and you can make great projects all the while! The amount of support, real industry advice, and connections you can get from this course is what has continued to help me in the long run.

The reach I gained through co-working chats and getting a start into freelancing through various projects has helped me build my portfolio so quickly. This has helped me become more confident in myself and be able to reach out for more opportunities. And so, I love how I have been able to use the many tools I know, such as 3D and animation, and utilize it to be part of a design career!
