Shillington's Graphic Design Program is great if you really want to learn basic technical design skills (along with some theory) to enter the design field or to supplement your knowledge of graphic design. The program covers the three main Adobe programs you will be using heavily in the field: Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Small class sizes and small teacher/student ratios allow students to receive hands-on personal instruction. The 30+ class projects (covering print, web, and mobile) completed over the course of the program replicate real-life studio projects where a brief is given and students must work against a tight timeline (much like it is in the "real world".). At the program culmination, students choose 8-10 projects completed over the course of the program to refine and extend for use in their portfolio, both printed and online. This portfolio will ultimately help students land interviews and jobs in the field. While the school does not offer any job support, students will be armed with great design skills and a strong portfolio that will easily get them in the door at many agencies and companies. Overall, Shillington is an amazing design program but I would caveat that it really is what you put into it. If you enter the program with the goal of learning design and creating a great portfolio then you will definitely succeed at that. Goodluck!
