It should be well planned, continually adapted to the times and presented by passionate professionals. That’s what happens at Shillington College and they have the record to prove it. Their students are taught by outstanding designers and are getting top design jobs. Starting with no prior experience they graduate with a professional portfolio and an indepth knowledge of design theory and the Adobe Creative Suite. Shillington’s objective is to create a positive and inspirational learning environment in which students are taught relevant industry skills, ensuring they have the best possible chance of employment as a graphic designer. Shillington Graphics, the Sydney-based design studio that preceded Shillington College, was founded in 1989 by Andrew Shillington. As an employer, Andrew sought to hire talented young graphic design graduates but found it increasingly difficult to find those with highend computer skills, a practical knowledge of design theory and could meet challenging deadlines. It soon became apparent that students leaving colleges and universities were not adequately trained in the world of computers and design software. And so Shillington College was born. Since then Shillington has expanded into a national institute & it is a huge success, evident by the high number of graduates that find high quality employment in the graphic design industry. Shillington runs computer based graphic design courses in Australia, the UK and now in the USA. The emphasis is on training employable graphic designers who can confidently take a brief, efficiently use industry standard software and produce quality print and web design solutions to a tight deadline.
