In this 10-week class, learners will dive head first into learning all about the wonderful world of entrepreneurial graphic design and branding.  This class will walk learners step by step through the process of creating a graphic design brand for themselves while learning how to actually design graphics at the same time.  

Branding is a critical element of doing business and graphic designers have a key part in creating the designs that help others brand their businesses but freelance graphic designers that create a brand for themselves that properly distinguishes them from their competitors will be able to set themselves apart as the obvious choice.
