Jocelyn Harris
Graphic Design Course Student
I've really enjoyed watching and learning hands-on how to use the foundational graphic design software and tools. I really had no idea where to start and felt overwhelmed, but the course has made it so easy and fun, and has given me the confidence to go off and expand on my skills. My favourite thing about the experience would have to be creating spec work and having feedback from Mindy and Sarah. Being able to implement everything I've learned in the course to create a 'real-life' brand identity has been so fun and the supportive feedback from Mindy and Sarah has been amazing. Having this spec work to add to a portfolio that I can show potential clients is so valuable.
I've never done graphic design before but have always been interested but too overwhelmed as to where to start. I did marketing at Uni and soon found out that graphic design skills really complement it when searching for jobs.
I mostly enjoyed the ability to make spec work that can be used as a portfolio - this has been so fun! Having Mindy and Sarah provide feedback has been amazing and really helps me know whether I'm on the right track or where I can improve.
I'd recommend the course to anyone who's interested, no matter their skill level. I had almost no experience in design and have felt comfortable and supported throughout the course. I would recommend they approach it by working through the course as often as possible, even just an hour a day. I found that that really keeps me in the momentum of completing the tasks.
