Graphic Design
Easy to Learn - Hard to Master
No creative talent required, but people will think you have it by the time we're done!
My lessons depend on who you are, and what you want to achieve.
Are you looking to learn these skills for a new career? Or maybe, you learned some bits and bobs along the way, but some basic facts still elude you? It took me more time than I care to admit to understand the difference between DPI and PPI.
Maybe you just need to learn how to speed up your workflow? A more efficient way of interacting with Adobe Programs, or a cleaner way of storing your files?
With an absolute beginner however, I recommend the following structure:
2+ 1 hour sessions a week learning the following:
Fundamentals of Graphic Design (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity)
Basic Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop use
Basic Format Setup for Print vs Web
Advanced Keyboard Use (shortcuts, power keys etc)
Basic File Storage (Naming, location, etc. boring but useful)
Of course from there, we can progress and advance any parts desired. From experience, it shouldn't take longer than 5-10 hours for most people to get through this course, obviously if we skimp practicing the boring bottom two subjects, the top three more exciting topics will naturally take longer to learn for the first time.
