Our 365 Days of Creativity course will teach you something new every single day for a year…The format is brand new and will provide you with the ultimate creative challenge and a different kind of learning experience.

So how will you learn a new skill every day and what type of skills will you be learning?

• The course is broken down into weekly sections. Each section contains seven lessons. These have two sections, first comes the one minute tutorial to teach you a new creative skill. This leads into a commentary style video which provides further insight into the topic.

• Many of these tutorials are accompanied by a downloadable working file created directly by one of the instructors. You can use this to see how they have set up the document and created the work you see produced in the one-minute tutorials. You can also directly work in these files as much as you like.

• Finally, check out the creative assignments, we have set 12 challenges. That’s one for every chapter (or month.) These ask you to combine a few of the skills you have learnt in each section of the course. Meaning you can test your knowledge and produce brand new creative work, perfect if you are looking to build a varied portfolio.

The course covers a massive variety of creative topics, all of which are relevant to and useful within the creative industry. There’s extra importance placed on the three main Adobe applications Ps, Ai & Id so you can discover plenty of brand new tools, techniques and useful software tricks.

As well as technical skills you will also learn essential pieces of design theory and see them applied in the context of a project. These work hand in hand with learning practical skills and will ensure you create work that successfully communicates to an audience.

Towards the end of the project, we introduce more practical skills which come in handy for creative professionals like the best methods for getting inspired, carrying out research, combining colours and more!

Start the course at any time, you feel like taking on the creative challenge and although we recommend watching a video a day you could watch a weeks worth in a day and then try out the files. This structure is flexible around you the learner.

Plus you can work on the creative assignments to at your own pace and start to build up a portfolio of work based on the skills you are learning and get feedback directly from the team by uploading your finished piece to Udemy.
