Design Alive provided the best framework and footing that an enterprising graphic designer could hope for. I finished the program confident in my knowledge of design principles, and assured that I always had whom to turn to for opinion and advice. I strongly feel that the success I have had in the years following can be attributed to the groundwork that Design Alive meticulously laid
