About Neil

I have a BA Hons and Masters in graphic design, along with a postgraduate teaching degree. I've been teaching graphic design for over 20 years and have also written undergraduate degree programs in graphic design and visual communication. I have taught over 1,000 students in Sydney and London, with several of them winning prestigious design prizes and many more gaining employment at top design studios around the world.

About the lesson

I currently work as a freelance designer on a wide variety of projects from branding and website development to online education and video production. My graphic design lessons are primarily geared towards supporting university design students, but I am equally happy to teach high school students and anyone looking to build a design portfolio. My lessons are structured around the student's needs, finding out what they want immediate help with and then supporting them with areas of design they find challenging. We'll explore many aspects of graphic design: design fundamentals, the design process, working with software, research methods, generating ideas, typography, grids, layout, colour, design development, final presentation, and inspirational examples. Depending on the student's needs, we can work through design briefs, or I can also set exercises designed to develop specific areas that help the student gain a better understanding of an aspect of graphic design. I am very patient, a good listener, and love teaching graphic design.

Neil's response
Ashleigh is always well prepared for our sessions. She sends me content that she wants us to work on and also has a clear goal for the session. She listens well and takes direction, quickly implementing the possibilities before iterating ideas. I’m looking forward to seeing her final projects.

Neil's response
Sean is progressing really well. He's spent a lot of time working on the design exercises and getting hold of the books I recommended. His understanding of design, page structure and layout have improved dramatically in the few weeks we've been working together.
Well done Sean!

Perfect! Neil was very attentive and very quick in understanding what I was trying to achieve - depicting illustrations to communicate my ideas. He went the extra mile to identify what I really needed and brought up a variety of references to spark my inspiration.
He is very experienced and was very helpful in helping me troubleshoot issues in my understanding of graphic design and colour theory and I found him very articulate strategies that I could implement that would improve with my work.

Neil's response
Dougy has made enormous progress in just three sessions. He has worked very hard and listens very well, implementing the suggestions we discuss in our sessions. He already has a good technical grasp of illustrator and can build on those skills to produce even more great work.
Nice work Dougy!
