ADVERTISING DESIGN
SPECIALIST LEVEL 4 COURSE
Here’s your opportunity to achieve that passion you have to become an Advertising Designer
Advertising Design starts by exploring the fundamentals of effective visual communication. As a graphic designer working in advertising, you create targeted campaigns that attract your audience and generate interest in your products. You apply your knowledge of visual art and combine it with practical skills in design software to produce strong, impactful work. Because advertising constantly evolves, you must stay up to date with trends, technology, and consumer behaviour. Ongoing learning and regular practice will drive your growth as an advertising designer.
In this course, you will build a portfolio that demonstrates your skills, creativity, and understanding of advertising design principles. Your work will include print ads, digital banners, social media graphics, and mock advertising campaigns.
