Why Visual Design
Over half of jobs in tech and IT now require digital design skills, and an astounding 92% of jobs require digital skills like visual design.
Throughout this visual design course, you’ll complete several smaller visual design projects designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit, all of which culminate in a final portfolio piece you can show off to stakeholders and future employers. Apply the visual design concepts and tools you’ve learned to create a high-fidelity mockup for a responsive webpage. You’ll also build a process presentation deck to accompany your design that demonstrates how your work evolved from idea to rough sketch, to polished piece.
We encourage you to tackle a design challenge that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.
