Our Training:
OGD offer quality, cost-effective training to industry and individuals.
We allow beginners and professionals to expand their design skills with software used in the creative industry. Adobe only - the industry standard. Very small classes, or one-to-one training, allow clients plenty of individual assistance from our experienced trainers.
Courses are tailor-made to your interests and skill level. They can be delivered from our studio or your office, on Mac or PC. Each of the four courses we offer, are typically two days in length.
All training courses include practical hands-on projects, that are relevent to what you actually do once we have gone.
We have helped Canadian government bodies design newsletters in Adobe Indesign, we have helped private businesses design websites in Adobe Dreamweaver, we have helped a banks' communication department make stunning charts in Adobe Illustrator and we have helped Mrs Miggins design Christmas cards. Actually we haven't helped Mrs Miggins design cards, but we could.

"The training we received from OGD in Adobe InDesign has proven indispensable to our
organization. In just a matter of days, in a fun and interactive setting, OGD taught members of our Fundraising and Communications departments how to create
stunning, impactful documents that really sizzle. We have received numerous
compliments about the communications tools we have been turning out since our
training -including logos, newsletters, annual reports and proposals. I can't
recommend OGD highly enough."

"OGD game me a great understanding of how to use the Adobe suite. I can now create advertisements and simple corrections to design files from my desk instead of spending resources out-sourcing the work. In the course it was helpful to see how the software products cross over. I was bringing images that I had edited in Photoshop, into Illustrator and making advertisements and leaflets. I need to be able to do this for my job, so OGD really catered the course to my needs. I wasn't in a big classroom of people doing tasks that were meaningless for me.
It was fun! There was lots of creative freedom to choose the colours, fonts and imagery I wanted to use. I was guided through how to use the software to get the most out of it."

"My 2 day introductory course with OGD was an excellent introduction to graphic design. What I thought would be a very difficult and intimidating thing to learn was brought down to my beginner level and made very comprehensible in a relaxed atmosphere, with hands-on/one-on-one training. The course provided me with a solid grasp of the programs which I will be putting to immediate use at the office, and it was tailored to my specific needs and time constraints. I'm confident that I've added an extra creative dimension to my skill set and am very excited about applying my newfound capabilities. I have to add that I am completely blown away by how much you can do with Photoshop and Illustrator - the possibilities are endless. For anyone wishing to learn or brush up on their graphic design skills, I would highly recommend a course with OGD.... it's downloads of fun!"
