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.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Elements of graphic design include:&nbsp;<strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Colour, Size, Texture, Line, Shape, Space and, Form</strong>. 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.<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Your teacher will guide you on:</strong></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">What salary you can expect at the start of your career?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to get new clients for your business for freelance designers ?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to find work for the new graphic designer starting out in the big world?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to quickly integrate into the graphic design field?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to combine working from home versus working at a studio ?</p></div><div data-id="9eeb2d6" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></div></div></section><section data-id="9dd6ca4" data-element_type="section" data-settings='{"background_background":"classic"}' style="color: rgb(74, 74, 74); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(74, 74, 74);"><div data-id="c7b1c39" data-element_type="column" data-settings='{"background_background":"classic"}' fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div data-id="d1226d1" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><h2 style="color: rgb(44, 132, 238); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(44, 132, 238);">Begin one-to-one online learning with your very own private tutor</h2></div></div></section><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><img src="https://images.cademy.co.uk/0832ed64-c289-46fe-8a61-ae4fb9d9c688/14e85caa-6eee-4593-8ec3-48bdfc839153/original.webp" style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"></p><hr fr-original-style="" style="border-color: var(--border-muted); border-style: solid; clear: both; break-after: page; user-select: none; box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"></p><div data-id="833cc17" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default" id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div data-id="833cc17" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default" style="color: rgb(74, 74, 74); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(74, 74, 74);"><h2 style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">Interested?</h2></div><div data-id="63ead7e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default" style="color: rgb(12, 12, 12); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(12, 12, 12);"><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Our course is 7 months long, consisting of 1 hour 30 minutes of online one-to-one sessions.

On 16th December there will be a series of live discussion events for the specific ages the course covers to assess your learning (you must attend at least one of these events - please see below for further information). 
Why? 
People with complex needs, deserve a thorough, co-ordinated 24-hour postural care service. We only get one body and yet people with complex disabilities don't always get the 'annual service' afforded the equipment they use.
Posture Positive report (2020) found training is a key aspect to developing resilient and robust 24-hour postural care for people with complex needs. Every person with complex needs or limited movement requires a comprehensive 24-hour postural care service delivered in a personalised way. 
Who? 
The course is suitable for specialist physiotherapists, specialist occupational therapists and other highly trained healthcare professionals working in health, SEN and social care. 
The course breaks down the life span of a person as follows:
0-3 years
Children and young people in education
Adults
Older people an palliative care
Each delegate selects the aspects of the course relevant to their particular area of practice whilst having access to all the course resources.
What? 
On completion of the course, it is hoped delegates will be equipped with the knowledge needed to deliver an outstanding, person-centred, 24-hour postural care service. 
This course covers: 
Why is postural care such a big deal?
What is 24-hour postural care?
Identification of need
Predictable changes to body shape
Preventing, protecting and reversing body shape distortion
Postural care in the real world with real people
Special considerations for all stages of life
Monitoring and evaluating outcomes
Co-production in developing personalised postural care
You can focus on one specific age group or take a general approach allowing you to adapt the course to meet your own learning objectives. 
On 16th December the final live review events with the trainers via Zoom are available for the specific ages that the course covers. You must attend at least one of these live discussion (the one most relevant to your practice) but you are welcome to join all four. Please note the timings are GMT.
10.30am - 11.30am 0-3 years
11.45am – 12.45pm Children in education
1.45pm - 2.45pm Adults
3.00pm - 4.00pm Older people and palliative care
Training for individuals and family carers
On successful completion of the course, all delegates will gain access to bespoke training materials designed by parents for parents of people with complex needs.

Discover Calm and Happiness with The SHARE Project: Your Path to Resilience! 🌟
Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and stretched to your limit?  With meetings and meltdowns to manage, battles for support, the frustration of feeling isolated or misunderstood, not to mention the pressure of juggling your job too, it can It can feel like you’re running on empty; hard to find a moment to step off the hamster wheel and just breathe.
I’ve been there, and I get it!💛
After being on the brink of burnout myself, I stumbled upon simple, yet impactful self-help, self-care and relaxation tools. These quick, effective techniques helped me rebuild my resilience, reclaim my sense of self and navigate challenges with renewed strength and joy.  And that’s how The SHARE Project was born.
What is The SHARE Project?
The SHARE Project is built on a simple principle: you need to put your own oxygen mask on first!  By nurturing yourself, you’re better equipped to support your children. Through our three, weekly, set of live online workshops, delivered via Zoom, you’ll discover practical tools to bring more calm and happiness into your daily life.
Here’s what you can expect:
Weekly Workshops:  Each week, we’ll introduce and practice one or two tools designed to fit seamlessly into your life (in just a few minutes at a time, I promise!). These are not your typical “luxury spa day” suggestions — because let’s face it, who has time for that?  Instead, you’ll learn sustainable, go-to strategies that you can use anytime, anywhere, to boost your wellbeing, even in the midst of chaos.  You will also receive a mid-week email of encouragement between workshops and printables to help record and track your progress.
Ongoing Support:  In each session, we’ll review your progress, fine-tune your approach, if needed, and introduce the next tool.  
Community Connection: You’ll be part of a supportive group of fellow SEN parents and carers who understand the unique challenges you face.  
What our clients say:
“The SHARE Project was a gentle, kind experience which showed understanding for parenting with additional challenges.  The refocusing was extremely powerful and I felt nurtured by the sessions.”
“It has helped me to have a more positive outlook day-to-day, and the relaxation has helped with my sleep.”	
“I looked forward to the sessions each week, they gave me time to focus on myself for a change.”
Ready to Feel More Calm and Happy?
If you’re ready to step off the hamster wheel and start reclaiming your joy, The SHARE Project is here for you. Let’s work together to help you feel more at peace, more resilient, and, most importantly, more you.
