About this class

Develop your creative ideas and artistic voice as you experiment with various design applications and tools to create a stunning portfolio of your work. From illustration to graphic design to animation to zines and comic book creation, you can explore your skills while learning new techniques. Design apprentices will work in small teams on client projects, gaining real-world experience to create successful content while meeting deadlines. By the end of the apprenticeship, you will have a portfolio of your work, a testament to the hands-on experience and practical skills you’ve gained.
