You Don't Need a $300 Design Course
Fun fact from a studio that hires designers: nobody has ever asked to see a certificate. Not once. Not even the nice laminated ones.
The internet has more design education than any course can hold.
A community-powered archive preserving graphic design history. Most "new" ideas have a great-grandparent in here. Some of them are very disappointed in their descendants.
A curated digital library of essential design titles. The reading list you'd build yourself if you had the time, the shelf space and the self-control not to just buy more notebooks.
For learning how to research a concept before you design it. Most weak work skips this step. Don't be most weak work.
Study branding the way an art student studies paintings. Look closely. Ask why. Write it down. Feel slightly pretentious. Get better anyway.
A hub for creatives studying how AI is reshaping the design process. Knowing where the craft is heading is part of the craft now. Sorry, we don't make the rules.
A design newsletter in small weekly doses. Ten minutes a week compounds. It's like going to the gym, but you can do it lying down.
The designers worth hiring are the ones who never stopped being students.
