I graduated in 2021 from the Graphic Design for Print and Web program, and I must say it was an exceptional course that provided me with invaluable insights into the diverse fields within graphic design.
One aspect that stood out to me was the versatility of the curriculum. The program covered a wide range of subjects, including Typography, Print Design, Illustrations, Website Designing, and Package Designing. This comprehensive approach allowed me to develop a well-rounded understanding of the industry and its tools. Despite having a background in fine arts and graphic design, this course provided me with a deeper level of expertise.
The professors were not only highly experienced but also exceptionally supportive and kind. Their expertise and guidance made the learning process enjoyable and engaging. Each lecture was delivered in a captivating manner that kept me eagerly anticipating the next session.
What I found particularly fascinating was the dedicated subject focusing on creating a portfolio, resume, and cover letter. This module provided valuable insights into how to present oneself effectively within the industry, greatly contributing to my success in securing a job offer. Additionally, the program offered various opportunities, such as art exhibitions. I had the privilege of showcasing two of my paintings in one of these exhibitions, which was a rewarding experience.
The curriculum itself felt highly relevant to the ever-evolving design world, and the professors consistently went above and beyond to address any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication and commitment to helping students succeed were truly admirable.
Overall, I can confidently say that the Graphic Design for Print and Web program was an excellent choice for anyone seeking a comprehensive and practical education in the field.
Returning to full-time school at the age of 56 was quite daunting. My biggest concern was being in a classroom filled with students my children's age and professors who might be younger than me. However, the pursuit of knowledge knows no age limit. Sharing ideas and working towards a common goal transcends generational divides. As long as you're open to learning and collaborating with new people, any perceived barriers are only in your mind and will dissolve when everyone works towards the same objectives. It turned out to be an incredibly enriching experience that greatly boosted my confidence. Our cohort was collaborative and supportive, devoid of competition. Taking the leap was absolutely worthwhile. I pushed myself to my limits and beyond, and I now know that I can excel in this field and find fulfillment in it.
