What were you doing before the course?
I just graduated with a degree in economics.
What motivated you to do this course now?
As I was job searching I realized that my specific degree didn't really prepare me with employable skills. Many of the entry level jobs I found required some sort of technical knowledge. I had always had an interest in design, so I searched for programs near NYC and Shillington was the best choice.
Have you had any previous graphic design experience? How do you feel you have progressed in the short time you've been at Shillington?
I didn't have any experience with Adobe Creative Suite. I am honestly amazed with my progression in the course. I never thought that I would be able to design so quickly.
What do you like about the course?
The pace. It's quick enough to keep interest but thorough enough not to get lost. The briefs feel very practical. It's a good feeling knowing that what were doing is applicable to the real world.
