It was a like a light bulb moment when I worked for a company for a short period and was sat next to a Graphic Designer and driving home one day thought why oh why am I not doing that? I thought I could still incorporate and use the skills I have in web design and Front End Development.

Hi, my name is Rob Redford I am currently studying the Graphic Design Beginners Course.

I have always had a love for Art and Design, Back at school I excelled in Art but never took it any further purely because I also had other aspirations at the time which took priority and when this didn’t work out I went on to study Computer Science at University. Being a bit of a technology geek, this set me on course for a career in IT.

Working in is something I have always enjoyed, especially in the area of Web Design/Front End Development.

I ended up working in more Software development-based work rather than Web Design/Front End Development, I struggled with this and didn’t enjoy it. However, I always found myself getting excited about creating the graphics for the interfaces and not the coding.

Working with my course tutor has been great, I am looking forward to moving onto the intermediate and advanced courses.

What I like about the Creative Design School and this method of learning is that I can pick it up whenever and wherever I want and fit it into my family/work life. But also I have direct real contact with a tutor via face to face Skype tutorial sessions.

Knowing there is a real dedicated team behind you, who are there to help you rather than a site with a bunch of tutorials for you to download and that’s it is brilliant and is what attracted me to the course.

I cannot wait to get started on a Graphic Design career path which is something for the first time in my life I really want to do.
