What you'll learn

Over 12 weeks online, you'll develop, package, and present powerful visual ideas. You'll learn how to research and brainstorm ideas, and grow your skills and confidence in pitching your creative work. 

This course simulates a professional agency environment with open dialogues and weekly critiques between peers to push all projects to be their best. The course is creative and fulfilling. 

It culminates with a final project where you will create a 360° advertising campaign fit for digital media and pack it into a strong portfolio piece. The flexible online format allows you to combine this course with other professional and personal responsibilities.

Who is this course for?

This course is for people looking to either enter or transition into a career as an Art Director. It's for people who want to learn tools and gain confidence in Art Direction. If you like the idea of developing more extensive campaigns and you aim at a client-facing creative job, this course is for you.

We require no professional experience within Art Direction. But previous studies in design, advertising, communication, or related subjects are helpful. You also need to be somewhat comfortable and fluent with the most common design software. 

If you are not familiar with design software, start your journey with Berghs Design Basics.
