WOOHOOO!! The foundation course is now full. I'll post here when we're opening registration again. In the meantime, I've put together a little cheat sheet for designing page layouts. If you struggle with layouts, font selection etc, give it a read. It should help. You can grab it here, it's...

WOW!! Has it really been a year since I asked about interest in a course, teaching the foundations of graphic design?! Time really does fly. Thanks to everybody that got involved in the conversation. I'm glad to say the online workshop will start in September. Each week, we'll be looking at a...

@Dolphin-Design Perfect, the course is aimed at people just like yourself. I think it will really help. I've had some great interest over the last couple of days, so instead of replying to everybody I'll set up a site over the weekend where you can sign up for more info & I'll keep you updated...

@hankscorpio Thanks for doing that @Paul Murray I've been discussing this way of working with quite a few designers. I'm definitely old school in thinking & was part of the first wave of designers doing 'multimedia'. The thing I find a little sad is that technology has jumped on leaps & bounds...

I don't believe it's subjective so much, sure you may like blue & I prefer green but at the end of the day, you're actually hired to solve a problem & VERY often clients don't know what they want. They know their business but hire a designer as the professional to...

Really? I'm getting the complete opposite. When I was hiring, I saw visually amazing portfolios but when I spoke to the designers, it became clear they had very little understanding of design. Their work was extremely ill matched to the client...& these weren't graduates. The thing I found most...

I'm a thinking of starting a design workshop & wondered if anyone's interested. I'm not planning on teaching applications, there's plenty of sites that do that. What I'm going to teach is the thinking behind design. Concepts, typography, layout etc, whether it's for print or digital. The...
