  • If you are like so many of us amazed by a beautifully designed poster or magazine cover, buying a chocolate just because of its cool packaging, if you love design in print form, then you’ve come to the right place.

    Print design focuses on producing designs printed onto tangible surfaces and products,and we can say that it is the oldest, classic field of Graphic Design, as old as the profession itself.

    With this rich history we have a long way to look back, and even more to look forward to as new trends arise and more and more industries modernize their look and appeal, and professional printing and packaging services become more accessible to small brands.

    Because of this, learning the key terms, best practices and industry standards of printing is very important for any professional designer.

    The greatest benefits of completing this course

    By the end of this course you will be equipped with all the knowledge you need to accept print design projects (given that you have the skills in the software). You will be able to confidently interact with printer services and clients, knowing how to prepare your work professionally, from adjusting your colors to setting your bleeds.

    What will we cover

    In this course we will be covering everything you need to know about printing techniques and processes, including

  • Color management,

  • Binding methods,

  • Paper types, sizes with resolution settings and so much more.

  • We will also dive deep into all the specialized areas within this field, like

  • Logo design,
