Digital Photography Course London

How do I change careers - to get into online Graphic Design from Marketing?

I'm 25 - I've did art and photography up until age 18. I'd now like to move into Graphic Design (mainly online - but like to know some print skills too.)


I'm thinking of taking a year out to do a course in London - can anyone give me any tips or recommend a course? I thought that this one looked pretty good:

I'm open to all suggestions - really appreciate your help with this!

hi darling, here are the things you need to take into consideration:
1. design is physically consuming, it will hurt your neck and shoulder terribly in a long run, and you may risk of long term disability
2. designer are not paid very well, you will need to expect £18k - £20k as a BA graphic design graduate, and after 4 years in the industry, if you are lucky, you'll get paid around £35k.
3. after become a senior designer, lots of people wants to move away from design to product manager, project manager, design manager for the above 2 reasons, so you may want to reconsider this change
4. think carefully whether you want to do a creative job, or you want to do a visually creative job, sometimes maybe you want to be a copywriter - they are extremely creative people and contribute an awful lot to creative ideas, but you may think the only creative job is art director.
5. also think about who do you want to work for, what kind of work would interest you, and find out what is the salary like for this kind of job and then see if you still wants to do it
6. the course you picked sounds really good, and it fits in with your situation perfectly, but i wouldn't quite your current job, ask them that you want to work 3 days a week, or take a sabbatical year. don't give up your current job for this course.
