Big news from Sessions College: we’re launching a brand-new way to learn. 🎨

Introducing our two new Illustrator & Drawing Bootcamps, intensive, 9-week online courses designed to help creatives build practical, industry-relevant Illustrator skills without putting life on hold.

Starting **October 19**, students can level up their skills through hands-on projects while learning from an experienced industry professional.

The format is completely online and asynchronous, with:

• No Zoom meetings or set login times
• Project-based, hands-on learning
• Small class sizes and instructor feedback
• Just 5–6 hours of coursework per week
• A Certificate of Completion, plus the opportunity to earn an Adobe Illustrator micro-credential

And the turnaround is fast: start October 19 and finish by December 18.

Registration closes October 16, don't wait. Learn more and enroll:

Here's some advice for novice graphic designers:⁠
⁠
Don't be so precious about your work. It needs to serve a purpose beyond YOU.⁠
⁠
That's what Andrew Shalat, Sessions Instructor and Macworld contributor, advises. He sees many of his students take criticisms personally because they're so invested in their work—but you need to look beyond it.⁠

World Cup on your mind, too? Because this week’s featured student work deserves a trophy! 🏆⁠
⁠
Product photography is far from easy. From mastering lighting to capturing the perfect angle, the art of showcasing products requires a unique blend of technical skills and artistic vision—yet digital photography student, Andy Coffman, scored BIG with this class project.⁠
⁠
Brilliant work, Andy! We can’t wait to see what you capture next.⁠
