Weekly Graphic Design training provided by an industry expert. We help facilitate projects that may be out of grasp for freshman Graphic Designers. With the Industry transforming into Gig based freelance work, we provide supervision and insight to get the best results on projects. The goal is to increase the working knowledge of students and add to their knowledge tool bag. Topics range from Photo Retouching, Restoring Old Photographs, Text Effects for Print and Web, Combining Images (compositing), illustration, Flyer design, Album art and much more. More established designers become apart on the inhouse design team, helping to execute paid Gigs and Contracts.
