FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes. You learn to handle complete design workflows for real brands—from brief to delivery—without needing a studio or agency behind you.
Logo creation, brand identity systems, social media graphics, marketing collateral, packaging, UI mockups, and full visual brand guides for businesses.
With consistent effort, most students are ready to take on paid design projects within 2 months and build a portfolio that attracts real clients.
Brands hire people who can execute a clear visual brief professionally. A strong portfolio and good communication matter far more than years of experience.
No. You need curiosity, an eye for aesthetics, and willingness to practise. The programme builds everything else from the ground up.
There are many designers who use templates. Very few can think strategically about a brand and create original, consistent visual identities. That gap is where opportunity lives.
Yes, especially when you move to retainer arrangements—monthly design support for brands rather than one-off projects.
You learn real design thinking first—composition, colour theory, brand strategy—and then use AI to multiply your creative output and speed.
Extremely important. Being able to present your creative decisions confidently and manage revision rounds professionally is what separates retained designers from one-time hires.
A focused niche, a clean portfolio with real or concept projects, and the ability to explain why every design choice serves the brand's goals.
