Our
Students

What is your current job?
Designer.

What sort of work are you doing?
My work ranges from designing greeting cards which is a core part of our work to designing gift bags, wrapping paper, stickers and calendars to name a few. Every day and each brief is different so there is certainly a lot of variety in our work.

What sort of deadlines do you work to?
Deadlines can vary from a couple of days to a couple of weeks and they usually all happen at once! The deadline also depends if we are working on licence products as these need to meet with their approval timelines.

What do you love about Graphic Design?
I love that graphic design is everywhere you look. I love the process of starting with nothing and using your interpretation to come up with a design, it's something that is very satisfying. It's also a bonus to see your work out there.

What do you find inspiring?
A good source of inspiration ranges from design publications and websites to other designers work. Color and photography also inspire me.

How has Shillington helped you gain employment?
The course is very well structured and you graduate with an amazing range of work in your portfolio after only three months. The course also covers the job hunting process from your application to presenting your folio. Most interviewers have commented on the quality of our work from such a short course duration. Shillington also emails job prospects which is always a help.
