FAQ
(Not the kitchen sink, but everything else. 🙂
As long as you’re very comfortable using a computer, you’re good. Beyond that, we’ll teach you the design programs from the ground, up.
You’ll need the Adobe CC student subscription (available here). This subscription includes all the programs you’ll learn during the course.
Each lesson is delivered in a video recording where you’ll hear the instructor talk while you view what she’s doing on her screen. You can pause, rewind and rewatch. (You can even watch at double speed in the online version, though we don’t recommend that. 🙂Â
The lessons come with files used in the lesson (also included on the USB drive or online) so you can try out the skills on your own. Most lessons also have homework assignments, which are similar to those a graphic designer might create as part of her job.
If you have any questions during the course you can always reach us via phone or email during our tech support hours.Â
You’ll have access to the course videos for one year.
Definitely. We have two packages so you can choose the one that works best for you.
Online Package: You’ll receive your course login information by email within 24-48 business hours of registering. Your student portal will contain:
- all course outline booklets
- instructions and videos
- lesson filesÂ
PLUS contact information for any questions; we’re here for you all the way.
USB Package: Your course materials are packed into our signature stylish folder, including:
- A course outline booklet describing what we’ll cover in each lesson along, with that lesson’s homework assignment.
- A QuickStart guide which walks you through the process of getting started with the course. (Of course if you have any questions you can contact us!)
- Your USB drive, which contains all of the course videos, design videos, and all files discussed during the lessons so that you can follow along on your own computer. You’ll also find a bonus section with lots of free downloaded images you can use in your projects, plus many beautiful free fonts.
You need a computer with (at least):
- I5 processor
- 8 GB RAM
- USB drive
- Mouse (not just a trackpad)
- 15-inch screen
- The ability to play audio and videos
We also recommend email or internet access if you plan to send in your projects for comments
For the USB package you will need a Windows computer, since the video files we send aren’t compatible with other models. (Sorry! You can still watch the videos online and get all other files by USB.)
It depends. No – really. It depends on how intensely you schedule yourself. The course could take you anywhere from 3 months to a year. It can even be done faster, depending on how intensely you pace yourself (but remember: you’ll also be dealing with the usual lineup of tests and reports from school…). Most students complete 1-2 lessons with projects per week.
When you sign up, we’ll work with you to create a personalized schedule so you can pace yourself properly.
Glad you asked. 🙂 Support is one of the hallmarks of The Bold Edge courses. We believe in being there for any questions you have. The Graphic Design Teen course includes five months of support and project feedback. (OK, that’s not really accurate. We actually answer our graduates’ questions way after they finish the course, too!)
You’ll have thorough knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, plus an understanding of key design principles. You’ll also have a portfolio of designs you’ve created during the course (start practicing your humblebrag now :).

I got a yearbook job
You gave me the confidence so I can enjoy the experience of learning new things without being overwhelmed by my new job. Thank you for your support throughout the entire process. BTW I also got a yearbook job for the coming year that is working out beautifully.
