Design Training Courses

Design Training Courses...

Our design training courses are not just about how to use software but also how to produce the most professional artwork for your company.  As a company we are interested in the aesthetics of layout and design and pass this on to you during your training course.  

If you sit on one of our InDesign Courses expect to learn about document and baseline grids and how they work together to produce beautifully aligned type through to golden ratio's, basic typography and more.

Baseline Grid Fact...

Did you know that grids have been around for absolutely centuries especially in architecture and can be traced back to the 12th Century, the Romans used them to design right angled streets to form a town based grid.  In old Rome land measurement was referred to as a Centurian.

Our Favourite Designer...

In the words of one of, if not the iconic designers:

"The grid makes it possible to bring together all elements of design.  Type characters, photography, drawing and colours into a formal relationshiop with each other.  It is to say that the grid system is a means of introducing order into design.  A deliberately composed design has a clearer, more neatly arranged and more successful effect than an advert put together at random"
