- You’ll access all the program material inside our private, students-only website, which is open 24/7/365.
 
- You’ll learn by watching (and following along with) videos, by reading written tutorials and instructions that I’ve put together for you, and by completing “creative play” assignments. It’s a delicious blend of multimedia instruction that works wonders – no matter your learning style.
 
- There is no schedule to keep up with or lesson plan to follow – so if you’re going away on vacation, or if you have to put the course aside for a few weeks while you focus on work or family matters, you won’t miss a thing.
 
- You’ll also automatically get FREE access to all the new course material that we create for GG2GD, for the rest of time.
 
It’s as simple as that, really (woot!).

I’m glad you asked! There are just two must-haves for the program:

1. A computer with a detached/separate mouse
- It can be a Mac or a PC; a laptop or a desktop. You just need to make sure that your operating system is up to par to run Photoshop (click here for complete details on this).
- While you can definitely watch the videos and read all the written material on a tablet (such as in iPad), you’ll need a full-blown computer to be able to run Photoshop and do the exercises and graphic recreations that I walk you through in the course.
- You’ll also need a mouse to be able to use Photoshop effectively (so if you’ve been getting by with only a touchpad on your laptop, it’s time to treat yourself to a real mouse!).

2. A recent version of Photoshop
- If you don’t already own Photoshop, I recommend you start by downloading their free 30-day trial (which I guide you through doing when you sign up for the course). This way, you’ll get a month of footloose & fancy-free graphics creation, for zero dollars. And don’t worry about the “installation” aspect; I’ll explain exactly how to sign up for the trial at the beginning of the program.
- Photoshop used to be a one-time cost, but nowadays, it’s sold on a monthly subscription basis. If you commit to subscribing for a year, it costs just $20 a month. Not too shabby for such a powerful tool for your life, biz, or dreams come true!

That’s all you’ll need – although as you become more creatively inspired and capable, you’ll likely want to invest in some optional extras, too.

I make a point of teaching you the most low-cost ways I know for designing gorgeous graphics. But there may be times when you’ll want to buy an image from a site like Shutterstock or purchase a special font that’s not available for free.

In cases like these, I’ll show you how to test out your font or image before you buy it, so you’ll never waste money on something that’s not quite right for a project.

I also direct you to plenty of FREE sources for awesome imagery and out-of-this-world fonts – so you’ll always have options.

 

 
….And your investment in The Girl’s Guide to Graphic Design is only $749 – with the option to pay in two installments.

Just think: If you sign up for the course to take control of your own visual brand for that thing you want to start, or the thing you’ve already got, the price of the program is less than you’ll pay a talented brander or designer. And because YOU’ll have the skills in YOUR toolkit, you’ll be able to reinvent yourself online time and time again.

That means no more paying anyone else to bring your dreams to life – ever again!

And if you take the course in order to become a graphic designer – either “on the side”, or full time? You just might make back your investment in this program on your very first job.

Meanwhile, you could spend $10,000 + on taking a graphic design program at your local college or university.

And you could wait two years or more to graduate – and have to trek outside through sleet and snow and locust swarms to get to your cold (or boiling hot) classroom, where you’ll be doomed to sit beside that creepy guy who picks his nose. For the umpteenth time.

The bottom line? No matter your goals, GG2GD is $749 well spent. :)
