What kind of projects will I work on?
All of our homework projects are designed to be practical so that they can be used in the real-world right away!
Learn More
We think it is highly important to focus on projects and skills that can be used to make an impact right away. We know our students time is limited and we don’t like to waste time on theoretical homework that no one would ever see or use. So, we take the time to come up with assignments that can be used on social media, for promotions and other on-demand purposes so students can use what they create!
I don't work for a church, can I still take a course?
Absolutely! All of our courses cover the practical skills needed to master design and animation for any kind of project.
Learn More
Our courses focus on real-world projects that we think are important for learning design in any situation. While many of our homework projects focus on designs that can be used in a church, many of our students have chosen to use their own company/organization’s needs for completing their homework as it applies to their situation.
All of our instructors have experience in both the church media world as well as the corporate and agency worlds and can help with specific questions related to best practices when working in other fields.
