Really enjoyed this diploma. The projects were practical, and the tutor feedback helped me polish my portfolio. Learned Photoshop and Illustrator from scratch and now feel confident applying for junior design roles.

Clear lessons, modern examples and plenty of downloadable resources. I studied alongside my full-time job and still kept up. Great overview of branding, layout and colour. Worth it if you’re serious about starting a design career.

Loved how beginner-friendly it was. The step-by-step exercises made complex tools easy to understand. The final portfolio project was a huge bonus — I’ve already used it in job applications and interviews.
