Digital Design Diploma

From PhotoShop to Flash - all the skills you need to exploit your graphics talent!

Course Overview

The more extensive design course, combining professional graphic design for print media with the specialist skills required for design for the web.

What the students' say ...

Paula Marvelly - UK

“Over the years I had worked in a variety of jobs - publishing, English teaching, even temping in a call centre - but by the time I reached 40 years old, I felt unfulfilled in my daily career.

Initially I felt concerned that both my age and lack of industry experience would make finding a full-time position a challenging task. I am happy to report that I was offered a job as a trainee web designer in a small web and graphic design agency within a few weeks of graduating from the college. My profound thanks to all the tutors and staff at Hove College for giving me the firm foundation to a new and rewarding career.”
