Graphic design is one of those skills that looks simple from the outside but has real depth to it. Whether you're starting from zero or already know your way around the basics, these lessons are designed to help you build a solid foundation and develop the kind of creative thinking that actually gets you somewhere in this field. I've been working as a graphic designer for 16 years, across branding studios, creative agencies, and product teams. I currently work as a Head of Graphic Design, and I've spent the last four years teaching and mentoring designers at all levels, including at Brainster Academy and Monday Academy. I bring that same industry-level perspective into every lesson. What we cover depends on where you are and where you want to go, but typically includes design principles, typography, layout and grids, color theory, composition, vector illustration, and design for both print and digital. We work with industry-standard tools: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, taught in a way that fits into a real professional workflow, not just isolated exercises. Every session is personalized. We work through real projects and practical tasks rather than just theory, so you're building skills you can actually use. You'll also get honest, constructive feedback throughout, the kind that helps you grow faster than going it alone. These lessons are open to complete beginners, self-taught designers looking to fill gaps, students, and working professionals who want to level up. If you're serious about graphic design, I'd love to work with you.

Trusted teacher: Illustrator is a great application that meets today's advertising needs. The focus of this course is carefully crafted, moving away from traditional teaching approaches in this discipline. It is essential to establish a knowledge link between color modes, the products that can be created with this application, integration with other applications, and different formats, such as the use of Excel spreadsheets to create interactive, mass-produced brochures with detailed information connected with markers. Regarding integration, we will use two sister applications of Illustrator: Photoshop and InDesign for the creation of magazines.

Renaud very quickly understood my initial knowledge (zero!) and also my reason and interest in the course. Renaud has a lot of knowledge to share and he very quickly assessed my level. He knew where to begin and stop in the session. He was very patient with me and I was completely comfortable with him. As a teacher myself, I can highly recommend him!

Vidhi promised an interactive and well explained lesson and she indeed delivered! Her communication skills are impressive with the ability to easily explain the same problem in various ways, she helped me have a clear picture of the key areas of improvement which I need to focus on. Very happy.
