Course aims:
In business making a great first impression is really important, one tried and tested way of doing this is by having a professional and eye catching business card.
On this design course you’ll have the opportunity to work with a professional graphic designer to design and create a business card that will make you stand out form the crowd.
Despite the variety of marketing tools now days available, the business card is still considered to be one of the easiest to use in business when meeting people. This course will address all types of professions and will help to provide an understanding of the importance of graphic design as a powerful communication tool.
You’ll learn basic skills in graphic design using computer design software (Adobe Illustrator) along with considering the effects of graphic design as a branding and marketing tool. Once you have created your card digitally, you’ll also learn how to take the design forward for printing.
