Become a Professional Graphic Designer

Learn what you need to know to break into the world of graphic design.

This course will prepare you for a job in the field of graphic design. This course is intended for complete beginners or those relatively new to design in order to understand what a graphic designer does and how to get a job in the graphic design field -- either as a full time job or as freelance designer.

Course Structure

This course is structured in such a way that anyone can begin with absolutely no knowledge of graphic design and leave with a full understanding of the graphic design profession, an understanding of the skills and tools necessary for success in graphic design, and understanding of how to get a job or freelance work in graphic design, and an understanding of how to use the industry standard graphic design tools to create outstanding graphic design work.

Work From Home

Although some graphic designers go to an office to work every day, many graphic designers work from their home. You can make a good living doing freelance graphic design work, but many companies will employ you full time but allow you to work from home.
