Digital Design for Non-Designers
Learn the basics of graphic design in the digital world, from technical aspects to creative elements
Course Description
Looking to learn the basics of creating digital designs for your social media posts or channels, but art or graphic design isn’t your specialty? You’ve come to the right place!
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 8 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.
So whether you want to make your own social media post graphics, cover images, web designs, advertisements, ebook covers, twitch overlays/intros/offline screens or buttons, this course can help you get started on your creative journey!
