Course Description

Learn to design and curate your portfolio for university, art school or a job interview.

I go through the necessary items that need to be included in a portfolio to get you on your journey to getting your dream shoes done.

This course will take you from have little ideas in design to a fully developed collection.

A knowledge of Photoshop or Illustrator is needed for this course.

I go through the knowledge I learnt at the highly esteemed London College of Fashion through to working on shoes for London Fashion Week 2018.

I take the knowledge and ideas you already have and apply it to footwear design.

Instructor Details

Daneka Malcolm

I am a Footwear design assistant at a London based design studio.

I put this course together as when I was in college trying to learn more about the world of footwear I found little information to get me ready for starting university. So I wanted to fill that gap for people wanting that beginning information before going down that path.

Several of the videos would not upload. I sent a message to the instructor but did not hear back from her. I have waited over a week. The information provided was very informative but it was disappointing not to be able to take the full course.

Awesome video on the art and craft of footwear! It covers materials, techniques, and all the details that go into making great designs. Really insightful!

This course gives a good introduction of shoe design. The beginners will be able to comfortably start shoe design. later on they can build upon the skill that they have got from learning this course.

The lessons seem unprepared and the instructor has unclear explanations of things. The course could have been a little more organized and concise. I had to watch the videos on 1.5x speed because of her mumble-jumble slow talking.

SIM. Há a dificuldade do idioma, mas é possível compreender. Entretanto, seria interessante se houvesse a possibilidade de legendas em português. Outro ponto importante é a qualidade da imagem quando a instrutora faz desenhos, quando está ensinando a desenhar, a câmera desfoca muitas vezes o que dificulta a compreensão/observação. O curso é bastante agregador, porém acredito que seria importante também o desenvolvimento de sketchs de calçados de variadas alturas, ou seja, seria importante também ensinar desenhar fôrmas de salto alto, médio e baixo. E assim, o curso de tornaria ainda mais inspirador e completo.

I never thought of doing footwear design until now, I have definitely grown an interest in starting a shoe collection. This course taught me so much in a short period of time. Thank Daneka, you were wonderful!

By Andrew O'Shaughnessy on 3/8/2018

Whereas the instructor was nice and was easy to understand, its a very basic introduction to the area of footwear design. Only one range of footwear is touched on and it doesn't really dive into any real detail. The course is what it is, but it really should be titled an INTRODUCTION to footwear design, not "Footwear Design School". Instructor seems like they have a lot more knowledge then they actually let on, should show more work off as she seems talented.
