*UPDATED JULY 2020: New section teaching Job Hunting Tips and Interview Training!

This course is for anyone who is interested in becoming a graphic designer and is especially geared towards intermediate students who have already completed Derrick’s Graphic Design Bootcamp: Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign Course.

This course is based on hours of student conversations and is updated frequently because it’s a compilation of some of the most asked questions from Derrick’s students, as well as real-world knowledge from over a decade of working as a graphic designer and web developer. Derrick is currently employed as a Creative Director and manages a team of creatives, where he is also able to pull real-life projects together and show you how to recreate client projects.

Do you have a question or a topic idea you think would add value to the course? Post a message once you have enrolled – your idea just may end up being the next video lecture added to the course!

What to Expect:

We will be using a mix of Lightroom, Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator for project lessons; the industry-standard applications for graphic design. You’ll also build on your vocabulary and knowledge from the first bootcamp; learning more relevant terms and design practices to help you create pixel-perfect projects for print and web.

If you aren’t looking to learn design for a job, don’t worry – this is a great course for you too! Many students are non-designers looking to make fun projects on the side, or students looking to spice up their resumes and social media graphics, and teachers looking to add some creative elements to their homework materials – the list goes on and on.

There is also a private Facebook group with over 15,700 students and counting, which is an awesome resource for you to take advantage of while you go through the course. The group is an excellent place to post projects, get insightful critiques, and network with other like-minded students and working professionals all over the world.

All project files are included as a free download at the beginning of each section, and you are welcome to use the files however you want, or simply to follow along with the projects as you move through the lessons. There are also bonus materials provided to help you work with real clients, such as project proposals and contracts, that Derrick and Jennah (Derrick’s wife and project manager) have used to land graphic design and web development projects.

If you see anything in any of the lectures that no longer apply with the software update, please let us know! We are doing our best to keep this course up to date and continue to add value for you.
