It helps convey messages, evoke emotions, and even shape the way we perceive the world. From sparking social change to creating trends, designers are the architects of visual culture.
Get ready to unleash your creativity, because the design game is where innovation meets imagination, and the possibilities are endless. 🎨✨

We have some time to build on the skills you've already learnt a Level 1. If you want to make things easier later on you need to put the time in to learn the software inside and out. Even if you have used the software before there is always more you can learn.
It takes 30+ hours to get comfortable in any software so keep challenging yourself to make more graphics and try new tools and techniques.

Task #2: Level Up
To be able to create an outcome that meets the advanced skill level using software like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign and Krita (if drawing with a tablet) is ideal. If you don't have access to the Adobe secondary school student licence then the open source alternative of Gimp and Inkscape should be alright as long as you go in depth with what you can do. Affinity is also another alternative. Canva is not a suitable alternative.
