Graphic Design 101
Graphic Design 101 earns ½ high school credit and delivers exactly what it promises—real design skills with real-world relevance. This course isn’t about doodles and digital stickers. Your teen will learn to build a brand, craft a logo, and launch a campaign, all while picking up the same techniques today’s designers use to communicate, persuade, and impress.
Each week, your student will tackle hands-on assignments after watching short, professional-grade video lessons taught by an actual graphic designer. Then comes a smart twist: student workshop recaps. These brief videos show teens critiquing and discussing the very projects your teen just completed, guided by a teacher who knows how to turn good into better.
Throughout the course, your student will master the seven elements of design, explore color theory, and work through the full design process—from messy idea to polished portfolio piece. Every tool, every assignment, every step is there to help him think like a designer and create like one, too.
By the final project, your teen will be running the show: building a personal brand, designing a logo, and producing a full campaign. Graphic Design 101 isn’t just a class—it’s a launchpad for a creative teen with ideas and the drive to turn them into something that pops off the screen.
