Welcome to the Graphic Design Portfolio Builder course!

This course is for anyone looking to add work to their graphic design portfolio, and is especially geared towards beginner and intermediate designers.

In this course you will find:

20+ Project Prompts and ideas for building a stunning graphic design portfolio

Insights from an industry pro and from a hiring manager

Resume creation tips

Ideas for setting up both digital and hard-copy portfolios

I move quickly through the content, since many students enjoy a quick learning pace. Prefer a more laid-back pace? Many students find that re-watching lectures or pausing the lectures during key learning points is a helpful way to digest the information.

What to Expect:

This course provides everything from project prompt assignments, to an inside look at what hiring managers look for in your resume and portfolio.

You will have the chance to design things like:

logos

icon sets

T-shirts

evites

social media graphics

and so much more!

I designed this course so that everyone could move through the content at their own pace. Feel free to skip around to what interests you most, or go through the course as it is laid out – the choice is yours!

There is also a private Facebook group with over 13,000 students and counting, which is an awesome resource for you to take advantage of while you go through the course. The group is an excellent place to post projects, get insightful critiques, and network with other like-minded students and working professionals all over the world.
