Recently I took the plunge and signed up to do a Graphic Design Diploma with the London Art College. \u00a0This is a distance learning course which should take approximately a year with about one day a week of study…..tonight I start!<\/p>\n
I’m so excited as I love anything arty (the more colour the better!) and design is an area I want to improve on, so hopefully I will learn lots and be able to produce some exciting projects that I can share with you all.<\/p>\n
I will have to do research and generate ideas, then make decisions on what works and what doesn’t….finally learning the best way to present my work. \u00a0I want to be ‘pushed’ with my art and this course is certainly going to do that lol.<\/p>\n
I will share my artwork with you, as I go along….please be kind!!!<\/p>\n
