Shillington College believes the design portfolio is paramount.

Everything we teach leads to a commercially relevant brief, which will then form part of your portfolio and give you the best possible chance of securing a position in the graphic design industry.

Starting with InDesign, the new publishing tool that is making serious inroads into the design industry, we instil the basics of the graphic design process. Each brief is structured to teach you something new, pushing the program you are exploring and contributing to your final portfolio. Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop are introduced subsequently, enabling you to integrate all three programs.

The design process includes creating rough visuals, brainstorming, thinking laterally, considering design principles, colour and typography. The production process is also covered and includes pre-press and printing methods.

As part of the college curriculum we invite leading specialist designers to give presentations of their work, providing insight into various areas of the design industry.

You will also have a complete printed portfolio ready for presentation and digital portfolio package.

This final portfolio package gives you the confidence to apply for graphic design positions immediately after graduation.
