What Learners Say
"It helped me to structure my knowledge about graphic design. Chris explained where to start and where to go. We worked on real projects, analysed work, and that helped grow my confidence.
"They've (mentors) been useful in the sense of breaking down the project and how to get from A to B rather than being maybe overwhelmed by the task and thinking, "Oh, I'm not great on the digital side or ideation," but how to just step by step get from one place to the next.”
