Learn to work with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign under the guidance of a experienced teacher.
Graphic design is a profession that you too can learn. The programs are incredibly large and the possibilities are endless. Because you get the foundation well taught, you can adjust existing graphic media and make new media after the course. Whether it is online visuals or printed matter. The courses are largely tailor-made, informal and packed with tips.
All the courses offered can be adapted to your (or your company’s) specific needs and requests, whether it’s an in-company training or private tuition. We will develop a personal lesson plan where we set learning goals to match your professional needs and applicability.
The courses offered are personal, informal and of a high quality and given by a teacher with expert knowledge. The courses are given in an informal setting with personal attention for the participant, and the subject material is adapted to their specific needs.
As a graphic designer I have years of experience during which I have learnt many skills concerning not only the program itself, but also in general graphic design. During the course I will pass on these tips and tricks so that you too can develop creative media.
Each program consists of a 1 day course from 10:00 to 16:00, held at your own location. By spending a whole day working with the program you can really immerse yourself in the possibilities it offers. A lot of the subjects within the program are interconnected, which is why it is best to study them together. In this way you learn the connections between all the different functions en possibilities the program has to offer. The course material has been written in such a way that it can easily be used as reference material at a later date.
Before we start the course we will compose a plan containing all the subjects you wish to learn so that the course is adapted to your professional needs. This will ensure that the course fully complies with your requirements.
As a qualified graphic designer I will not only teach you how to work with the program but also provide tips on how to optimise your workflow and general graphic design. I teach this partly by means of my blog and partly in class. Combined with my experience as a teacher I can teach you the basis of the program in one day.
The course is given at the student’s own location. If the situation does not allow this, the course can also be followed at a location in Eindhoven.

Adobe programs are the international standard in design. Adobe is loved by professional designers and media agencies because of the unlimited possibilities of the programs. Adobe has a Software As A Service model. You pay a monthly fee that gives you access to all programs, all mobile apps, free updates and much more. In the courses Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign you also learn to work with these programs. Discover the courses per program:
The programs of Affinity are becoming more famous. Especially for small self-employed people who do not use the programs often, it is in many cases a good alternative. You only pay once for a version of the program and there are no updates. Although the programs contain fewer options, they are often sufficient. Photo is Affinity’s counterpart for Photoshop, Designer for Illustrator and Publisher for InDesign. Discover the courses per program:

At the end of 2018, I was voted Best New Trainer of 2018 by Springest.nl.
The courses are given by Stefan. I am a freelance graphic designer with over 10 year’s of work experience in online and offline projects. I have worked both as an independent graphic designer, for small media bureaus and for international brands. I am a graduate of the ‘Grafisch Lyceum Eindoven’, currently also known as Sint Lucas situated at Strijp-S.
During these courses I will pass on my work experience and knowledge in an enthusiastic and inspiring way. In a pleasant, informal setting I will teach you the tips and tricks of the graphic programs using teaching material I have created myself. After following one of the courses you will be ready to ‘leave the nest’ and be equipped with all the skills you need to graphically design media in a clear and attractive way.
