If you don’t have a graphic design department or you’re an entrepreneur just getting started with your own social media channel, brand or website, you don’t need to outsource graphic design work if you know how to do it yourself!

I have a B.F.A in Computer Graphics, and over 10 years of freelancing experience with graphic design & video production.

With this course I aim to teach the basics of graphic design in the digital world, from the technical aspects to the creative elements involved. Because of this, the topics and concepts covered can be applied to many digital design or photo editing software like Photoshop, Canva, and more.

I also suggest free resources you can use to create your projects - From phone apps, computer software, and websites that provide royalty free content.

So whether you want to make your own social media post graphics, cover images, web designs, advertisements, e-book covers, twitch overlays, intros, offline screens, youtube thumbnails, or buttons, this course can help you get started on your creative journey!
