Student Reflections from Dallas College

“Through multiple branding and publication projects, I strengthened my skills in Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop while learning the importance of organization, attention to detail, and following a structured creative process. The course challenged me outside of my comfort zone, but ultimately helped me grow as both a designer and problem-solver.”
— Lakeitha, Former Online Graphic Design Student
“Throughout the course, I developed stronger skills in Illustrator and InDesign while learning the importance of planning, sketching, and following a thoughtful design process. The sequence of projects helped me understand how to build a cohesive brand system while strengthening both my technical and creative skills.
One of my biggest takeaways was the value of feedback and collaboration. Through discussion boards, class critiques, and personalized video feedback, I gained a deeper understanding of how to improve my work and refine details before submission. The interactive structure of the course and weekly tutorials created a supportive learning environment that challenged me to grow as a designer.”
— Emily, Former Online Graphic Design Student
