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: Part 1 Course.
This course is based off of 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.

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.
