Creative talent

The ability to draw or understand artistic theory is not a requirement. Successful D.T.P and conceptual digital design work is achieved by ‘drawing’ knowledge through observing information presented all around you every day.

You don’t have to be a ‘suffering artist’ eating canned beans to be creative!

That being said, learners with artistic backgrounds would excel with visual perception and raw illustration techniques, which is advantageous.

However, there is no distinct pattern difference in the quality of portfolios produced by our non-artistic and pre-artistic students.

Education

Completion of your matric is strongly advised.
Yup, many prospective employers believe its got to be done. Whether it’s really evolved to be a reliable testing and reward system remains to be judged. It is a national system nonetheless, so we highly recommend a matric level pass before attempting to enter the communications industry.

The Keyline learning environment is very unique compared to conventional tertiary institutions.

Our students are not just a ‘filled seat’, but are taken under our wing who we get to know well and want to see succeed in the industry.

We are sincerely driven in this quest and our committment to our students is only limited by their committment to themselves

The learning process is unconventional and students don’t spend hours having to listen to and absorb chapters of theory, but are rather constantly stimulated by a fun and real world practical application teaching format, which ensures the course keeps their enthusiasm and interest all the way through to exams and portfolios.

Sounds too good to be true? Well, no career is a walk in the park, but it is amazing what the course can do for you with a little bit of effort and a healthy dollop of enthusiasm!

The course fee includes the supply of all stationary requirements, bags, support notes and demo software.

Students are also required to take down notes during lectures, which we find helps them remember detail and enables them to record procedures in a way thats easier for them to relate to at a later stage. There are no other mandatory costs involved.
