Hello, I do mostly impo work right now. I do not have a degree in graphic arts and desperately need to freshen up my learning curve some. My local community college is offering somethig new for the fall semester. It's called "Graphics Design Career skillset" comrising of the following classes: Color Theory; Photo Imaging Editing I and II; Electronic Publishing; Intro to Graphic Design; Corporate Design; Graphic Design and Produuction; Typography; and Portfolio Development. The price is $3500 (US dollars) and comes with a certificate of completion (no liscensing or certificate). Would taking these classes make me more hire-able, do you think? Right now, as I've said before, my pay is $7.00 per hour. Thank you very much for your input! I especially would like to hear from those who do the hiring for their company.
