TYPES OF PROJECTS AND COMMITMENT LEVELS

01

basic

I'm a true novice, but I love to doodle, explore and create. I am brand new to graphic design. I am really interested in learning all the basics.

On a scale of 10, I would rank my computer skills between 0 and 4.

02

advanced

I would like to have a creative assessment project so that I can be coached and develop an individualized plan.

The plan would include one or two projects that I can work on with some engagement and critique thru the work.

03

souped up

I'm very interested in an assessment, mentorship, and an individualized plan of study that includes up to three intensive projects that will help me rejuvenate, and focus on improving areas of weakness while also targeting my strengths in flexing my solution skill set.

I'm all in. I want to learn about graphic design over the next 6 months to a year to build the skills as if I were taking college level courses. I'm committed to meeting once or twice a week in the one-on-one sessions to engage in multiple projects per course based on my availability and level of productivity.

Coaching consultation involves a dialogue first. Please inquire about a FREE initial conversation to get the ball rolling. After the conversation, you may be asked to provide samples of your work from doodles to digital.

Results of that initial conversation could be simple recommendations, an assignment that will get you headed in the right direction, or coaching sessions can be used to critique or work with you on those.

You may purchase one more more hours for consult and can use them with scheduling within 12 months.

SOUPED UP

Coaching consultation involves a dialogue first. Please inquire about a FREE initial conversation to get the ball rolling. After the conversation, you will be given an assessment exercise and a goals worksheet. You will receive a proposal for options before having to make any purchase of coursework listed below. Projects assigned based on skill level and may include different complexities.

A college course would include 3 or 4 of these assignments. This is a customized itinerary based on your individual skills, goals, interests. Each project includes approximately 5 hours of coaching, critiquing, follow-up questions per assignment (typically in 30 min increments).

 

Remember that if one were to register at a community college or private college the range for a course would cost between $750 and $3000 per course for credits. This is not a credit bearing course, but it is being taught to you by a former tenured professor of graphic design.

One project special - $499

Two projects special - $899

Three projects special - $1299

*BRAND YOU project not available for this package​

If you choose to commit to a 3 project program, we'll likely be working for several months but you can schedule up to a year from the start date to fit in the work with other obligations.

This is the most intensive and complex option. It is designed for the serious student who is looking for mentorship and a comprehensive design curriculum instead of attending a bachelor, masters or certificate program. This option is for students who may be taking other college level classes in high school or exhibit unique talent at ages 11+.

What you are paying for is one-on-one consultation and individualized curriculum based on 20+ years of design education by your coach Val and not paying for is all of the University administrators and overhead.

 

I have developed a comprehensive curriculum that includes 5 innovative courses that are customized for your level from novice to mid-level experience. Courses include multiple projects of various complexity.

Based on your level of experience, you may jump ahead of the program, but these 5 classes combined are equivalent to 15 credits or a what Universities would consider a concentration in that subject.

$1999 each. (regular price $3400)
