About this course

Learn to design and animate professional visual work — design principles, color and typography, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, branding and logo design, layout and print design, social media and digital design, and motion graphics with After Effects — ending in a capstone brand identity system and motion graphics reel.

Where this course can take you

Brand design and motion graphics are two of the most consistently paid freelance categories on Fiverr and Upwork, and agencies across Nigeria hire for both roles regularly. Graduates take on logo and brand identity projects, social media design retainers for businesses, or motion graphics work for content creators and marketing teams, often running several client projects at once once a portfolio is built. The capstone brand identity system and motion reel become the first two pieces in that portfolio.

Who this course is for

Beginners with some creative interest wanting a structured, complete foundation in graphic design and motion graphics, or adjacent professionals (marketers, content creators) wanting genuine design/animation competency. This is the Intermediate-tier design course in the catalog.

Entry requirements

- Minimum age 16, basic digital literacy - A laptop able to run Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects (or comparable alternative tools) - No prior design or animation training required
