You’ll engage in hands-on projects that challenge your creativity, problem-solving abilities, and technical skills. By the end of the semester, you’ll have a strong portfolio of work that showcases your growth and understanding of the graphic design process.

I encourage you to approach this course with an open mind and a willingness to experiment. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes—every misstep is an opportunity to learn and grow. Your unique perspective is valuable, and I’m excited to see how you’ll express your ideas through design.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance throughout the course. I’m here to support you in any way I can.
