If you are looking for a gateway to enter fashion studies or the industry itself, this is a great place to start!! I was given the opportunity to be full in my expression of myself and my work as I was surrounded by like minded individuals who have the same or similar interests and visions as me that have personalities of encouragement and inspiration. This course from start to finish provided me with excellent insight into the Digital Creative industries, including how brands have adapted to use and currently use the Digital era to help distinguish themselves amongst the competition.

Having previously completed a Condè Nast course I had high expectations of the Digital Content Creation course but once again Condè Nast College didn’t fail to exceed expectations. This course has expanded my awareness of digital design and marketing as well as opened my eyes to new and exciting ideas and opportunities. Whether you are a beginner or more knowledgeable person, this course offers value to all. The college has incredible connections creating a high-quality set of weekly live lectures. The course was thought provoking and challenged my preconceived ideas whilst helping me to become more confident in my understanding of this field. Georgia created a beautiful portfolio page on her website talking in more details about the projects she competed while studying with the College.

I learnt a wide range of websites and systems to create different content for social media platforms. My thinking and planning is now much stronger and I can clearly see what types of content would be great to use for a brand to advertise or engage with their audience.
