Design Your Future | Shillington Taster Session

Graphic Design Course | Free 1-hour Taster Session

Something’s not quite working?

Ever looked at a design and thought, “something’s not quite working”, but you can’t quite figure out why?

This isn’t a webinar! You’ll be making, experimenting and taking part.

You might be:

Completely new to Graphic Design
Working in marketing, content, social media, brand or communications
In a creative or design-adjacent role
Self-taught and looking to build stronger foundations
Exploring whether Graphic Design could be your next step

What you’ll do

Join us for a free, one-hour live Graphic Design lesson and get a taste of how we teach at Shillington.

We'll introduce a few of the ideas designers use to make visual work feel clearer, stronger and more considered. Then you’ll jump into FigJam and try them out for yourself.

You don’t need to know Figma or any other design software. We’ve made the exercise easy to pick up so you can focus on the design thinking rather than the tools.
