Overview

What this course is about

DTP - Desk Top Publishing (For Publishing & Printing Work) is taught here as a hands-on, live one-on-one course rather than a stack of videos. Good visual design sells products and builds brands, and skilled designers are hired across agencies, startups and freelance markets.

Expect to spend most of your time actually doing the work — you’ll retouch and compose images and work confidently with type and colour along the way.

Every session is one-on-one, so the pace bends to you — not to a class average.
