A few years ago my mom passed away and I quit my job and went back to school to get my BFA in illustration. After graduating, most of the work I was able to find was more graphic design focused than illustrative. I wanted to expand my graphic design skills and grow my confidence in that field in order to find more work and not give up and get another torturous non-creative day job.

I can't choose one favorite thing about the course! I loved picking fonts, playing with color schemes, and drawing logos. My portfolio and my confidence are looking much more robust now. I feel good calling myself a graphic designer now, my current design work started looking better, and I have already gotten more freelance work because of it.

My advice to anyone taking this course is don't stress and work at your own pace. Create deadlines for yourself and then once you miss them just create new ones!
