About this programme
Every business in Nigeria needs someone who can make a clean flyer, a sharp logo or a scroll-stopping post. This programme takes you from zero to designing real pieces with free and industry-standard tools, step by step, in live classes you can join from your phone or laptop.
You will practise on briefs that look like the jobs you will actually get: church programmes, food-vendor menus, product ads, company profiles. By the end you will have a small portfolio, a Behance page and the confidence to pitch your first client or apply for a junior designer role.
By the end you’ll be able to
- Design social media posts, flyers and banners in Canva and Photoshop that follow a clear layout
- Create a simple logo and a one-page brand guide (colours, fonts, logo use) for a small business
- Prepare files correctly for print and for web, with the right sizes, bleed and formats
- Present 5+ finished pieces in a Behance portfolio and price your first freelance job
