Education
S
S
Certificate in Graphic DesignShillington College
Melbourne, Australia
After studying photography for 2 years, I craved a more in-depth exploration of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Shillington's course structure was the perfect balance of practical portfolio and skills development.
I emerged from it with an advanced understanding of the key software, imagery and design fundamentals. These skills would empower me to launch my career into design, retouch and photography.
