Q: What will I be doing day-to-day?  

Each week will include a masterclass focused on specific skills development around the digital design process, some time for self-directed work as you apply your learnings to your project, and a playback session where you will get feedback on your work.  

You will be collaborating with the rest of the cohort to respond to an industry brief set by a real-life client, working towards a showcase in the final week where you will present your digital product.
