Ambitious Creatives
If you’ve already mastered the basics and want to build studio-level skills — this is for you.
What will you achieve?
Create High-End, Portfolio-Ready Designs
Design artwork that looks like it belongs in a creative agency portfolio — polished, bold, and commercially viable.

Work Smarter and Faster
Build efficiency with shortcuts, templates, and reusable effects that speed up your workflow without sacrificing quality.
What will you learn?
Pro-Level Portrait and Product Retouching
Master high-end photo and product retouching techniques used in commercial design. You’ll learn how to clean up, enhance and perfect images — adjusting lighting, colour, skin, texture and surfaces with total control. Whether it’s a beauty shot or a brand product, your edits will look clean, natural and studio-ready.
Create Surreal Composites and Stunning Photo Manipulations
Design Graphics Built for the Real World
From landing pages and posters to sticker designs, business cards and badges — learn how to design across a range of formats. You’ll also master the art of presentation: placing your work into mockups that bring it to life and make every design look print or web-ready.
Create Advanced Typography and Effects
Move beyond basic text layers and learn how to design custom typography with impact. You’ll experiment with layered effects, stylised treatments, and smart integration into your designs — whether it’s a poster, ad, cover or UI element. Typography won’t just be readable — it’ll be remarkable.
Illustrate with Photorealism, Depth and Control
Take your digital artwork to the next level by learning how to shade, highlight and add details like realistic hair, surface texture and lighting effects. Whether you’re drawing from scratch or building detailed composites, you’ll gain the skills to illustrate with confidence and accuracy.

What students are saying
"I look forward to taking the next lesson."
At last an online course that manages to teach and remain fun and interesting. Dan has a laid back and light-hearted attitude; I feel like I'm hanging out with a friend who's gently encouraging me to play with the software, making it a fun process rather than a dry old learning chore. I look forward to taking the next lesson, and Dan is always available for any question, no matter how silly it might seem.

"The course is well organised and concise."
The course is well-organised and concise, with each lesson building on the last using real designs. Dan provides examples, helpful files, and challenges to apply what we've learned. The course also offers access to an active community. Another, unique feature of this course is the ability to ask questions and receive real assistance, as well as receiving feedback from other course members. Dan's approach in this course allows me a better understanding of various ideas and insights about design.

"Hands down the best instructor I know."
Dansky is hands down the best instructor I know. I have invested in myself. Now I have bought a bunch courses and it does not match to what you learn here. And the community is amazing. Dan is the man.
