Be it a career change, an exciting new hobby, perfecting existing skills or simply enhancing professional employment prospects– we help you unlock creativity through our industry aligned all-encompassing Graphic Design Course. " Having done my level 1 and level 2 in graphic design, I felt that I still had gaps in my knowledge and I wasn't comfortable with what I knew. I signed up with Blue Sky Graphics and I am really glad I did. I am definitely better now than when I started and this is all thanks to my tutor and Blue Sky Graphics 🙂 " A Comprehensive Advanced Course The graphic design course is a structured academic and industry aligned advanced course suitable for complete beginners, intermediates or those wanting to improve their existing skill set. The graphic design course is comprehensive and through our teaching methodology is designed to train participants to become professional Graphic Designers. There is an emphasis on corporate illustration, composition, painting and logos as well as advertisement designs while focusing on vectors, lines, features, shapes, and spaces. All this will be integrated into how graphic elements are printed after they are processed in graphic design software for the purpose of visually illustrating emotions and messages. During the course you will be exposed to: advertisements, magazines, newspapers, corporate graphic designs particular to company cultures and brand identity, stationery, letterheads, business cards, logos, books, packaging and much more. The graphic design course teaches you to understand and learn how to operate a labyrinthine yet amazing world of Adobe software. With this software we explore the uses of words, shapes, textures, forms, sizes and colours to communicate by combining ideas and images to make a new concept. Graphic design through common misconception is not just about layout and typography, but much more about ideas behind visual meaning. Graphic design can make a company more successful in the world if it makes communication smart, attractive and able to captivate its audience. Graphic design can effectively be used by businesses to make (or break) their brand identity, increase sales, promote web traffic or promote services and products through advertising on their websites to convey complex data to its readers in a clear way. Elements of graphic design include: Colour, Size, Texture, Line, Shape, Space and, Form. It is important that each element is understood correctly, and this is one of the key principles we teach on our graphic design course. In other terms, graphic design communicates certain ideas or messages through visuals. These visuals can be as simple as a business logo, or as complex as pages of web design. This course goes beyond just the practical side of graphic design and includes the theory and substance behind modern graphic design. Your teacher will guide you on: What salary you can expect at the start of your career? How to get new clients for your business for freelance designers ?

1 - 1 Guitar lessons for beginners.  Adults and children welcome. Classes are taught via Zoom. Hi! My name is Iain and I’m a Guitar addict. I’ve been learning since I was 10 years old and have fallen in love with playing Guitar over and over again over the last 30 (or more) years. I started teaching Music in 2003. At the time I was doing a World Music degree at SOAS, studying everything from West African Blues to Indian Raga. My first teaching gig was at an after school club and I immediately loved teaching Music. After graduating I got a job as Music teacher at Carlton Primary School and over the next several years I taught Music and Guitar for Hackney and Camden Music services. This gave me the opportunity to work in many different schools, teaching whole classes, small groups and one to one lessons. Working in such a wide variety of settings was the best experience any young teacher could hope for.  In 2012 I got my teaching qualification form the University of East London and went to work for Beal High School in Ilford. I started as a Guitar/Music teacher and then moved into their Autistic provision as a class teacher. This really made me aware of the importance of teaching in a way that suits the individual’s needs and avoiding a ‘one size fits all’ approach to education. In 2015 I started work as a Music teacher for Harmeny Education Trust in Edinburgh. Harmey provides for children who have experienced significant trauma in their early lives and takes a therapeutic approach to education. It’s a great place to work and we’re now working on expanding from just Music lessons to doing media projects as well – making Youtube videos and podcasts and exploring all sorts of ways to record and express ourselves. I have always done small bits of private teaching alongside school work and in January 2020 I decided to start a proper Guitar teaching business. And then 2 months later the pandemic hit and lockdowns started! But, as they say, necessity is the mother of invention and I’ve been lucky to find some wonderful students online who are learning via Zoom and also expand my Youtube channel along the way.

Description Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness Diploma   SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder is a kind of depression with a seasonal occurrence. It is occasionally referred to as the 'Winter Depression' because the patient's symptoms are typically more noticeable during winter. Thousands, maybe even some of your colleagues, suffer from it. Elearncollege's Seasonal Affective Disorder awareness diploma programme will equip participants with the information necessary to identify various psychological disorders with an emphasis on SAD. Participants will understand and get basic training in the assistance/therapy offered by professional psychology practitioners. This program will help the participants initiate a helpful dialogue with a needy person, and they will know the right time to refer them to necessary professional treatment. Our Seasonal Affective Disorder awareness diploma program is intended to assist you in gaining a better understanding of SAD and other common mental illnesses and their treatment. The program will also discuss SAD's symptoms and causes in addition to standard treatment techniques accepted worldwide. Globally, depression is among the most prevalent mental health diseases, although few people understand it. The Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness Diploma programme is designed to increase participants' awareness and understanding of recognising SAD symptoms and preparing them to assist a victim of SAD. When the days are shorter and the weather is cooler, many people experience depression. For many, symptoms are transient but will be permanent. Parents trapped indoors with angry or sick kids may experience an increased sensation of weariness, or a short temper is not unusual on a dismal winter day. However, for some, these symptoms might be highly incapacitating. SAD is much more than what is known as winter blues in the winter. It is a kind of depression that occurs during a particular season, generally during the winter, and then subsides. SAD shares many symptoms with common depression. These symptoms vary in characteristics and severity and can easily wreak havoc on an individual's personal and public life, dragging the patient into the deep dark circle of depression. Fatigue, a persistently depressed mood, lack of enthusiasm, excessive or inadequate sleeping tendencies, desire and consumption of more carbohydrates and sweets, excess weight gain, deep feelings of despair or helplessness, and suicidal thoughts are all symptoms of SAD. The Seasonal Affective Disorder awareness diploma programme educates participants about this prevalent psychological condition. The program contains pertinent information for those who have suffered from SAD and wish to understand it better. In addition, the Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness Diploma is necessary for those who have close ones suffering from SAD and are looking for the essential information and training to take care of them. Additionally, the Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness Diploma programme is a fantastic course for anybody interested in pursuing a career in counselling or psychotherapy.
