Course Description
Are you an entrepreneur who wants to get professional graphics made, but you don't want to (or can't afford to) pay someone to do it? I was in your shoes once and trained myself to make professional, top-quality graphics for my projects. This course teaches you what I have learned so you can do the same!
You don't need to hire a graphics guy! Or learn Photoshop! We are going to be using simple and fun, but incredibly powerful software to make fantastic graphics and very fast. I take you through step by step through some very useful projects for an entrepreneur. Like making "buy now" and "submit" buttons, making a header graphic for your website, and other relevant items that entrepreneurs ACTUALLY need in their projects. We won't be drawing deer, or mugs, trees or other useless, "artsy" things, lol.
It's time to take control of your projects and fill them with graphics that come from your own mind. Trust me, you do not need to have ANY graphics experience to take this course and you WILL learn how you can make professional looking graphics for yourself. Let's do it! </p>Looking forward to seeing you on the course. I'll be here every step of the way. So stop worrying!

Hi I'm Steve. I have been a content creator online since 2005 helping others to improve their skills in areas ranging from business to hardware to audio to graphics. I've written books, created training videos, done hundreds of podcasts and really get a kick out of seeing others do better in life with new knowledge learned. Who wouldn't?
And if you want to know how to podcast, I'm your guy. I've been having great success in podcasting since starting my first show from scratch in 2008 which has now boomed into full podcasting network complete with 6 shows, that gets over 50,000 downloads a month.
As far as multimedia, I have been cranking out products since the first time I heard the word "Photoshop!" I create all my own graphics, music and videos for my own sites and projects. I've learned a thing or two (or three), through the years and I'd love to help you sharpen your graphic, video, and audio skills so you can make the coolest content.
When anyone asks me what the trick is to being successful online I tell them "Be Awesome." That's my best advice; simple but true. If you just be awesome you will stand out from the sea of content out there (mostly crap) and get noticed. I have the knowledge of what it takes to help you "be awesome" and create amazing products. Let me share that knowledge with you!
Sincerely,
Steve Cherubino

Uses a program I will never use. That should have been stated before enrolling. Feels like clickbate.

Informative and enjoyable to watch. It would have been nice to have had a PDF to download identifying the tools and showing keyboard commands but that's just laziness on my part. He explains enough that I can make a reference guide. Also, I'll watch this several times while working in Xara.

This is a great course, especially for those who need to do more than PowerPoint graphics, but do not know PhotoShop yet. This tool is wonderful and much less expensive than others. The Instructor walks you through, explaining clearly each step to help you learn how to manipulate photos, create your own graphics and even edit graphics you already have! He was very easy to understand and very thorough.

The Xara software is really great. Various objects were created so easily and could be adjusted so quickly to look really professional. The learning curve was really small. He also used great examples that covered most of the images persons would love to create like buttons. I especially enjoyed the banner and ad lectures.

Its good because it is delivered in a professional way, but, at the same time, you are not talked down to, Steve talks it to you in an over the fence, neighbourly manner that lets it sink in. Its a great course with a great instructor. John

This was a wonderful introduction to Xara as well as graphic design for those who can't draw. Steve did a wonderful job with both. The instruction was super with fun projects that covered so many of the Xara tools. After taking this course, I agree with Steve's opinion of Xara - it's unbelievably cool and uncomplicated and so fun to use. I'm sold. Thanks so much! I would look for more instruction by Steve.

After being scared off by the $$$ price tag of Photoshop and getting frustrated finding help for the free GIMP tool, i was totally blown away by the simplicity and affordable price of Xara. I would have not known about Xara but for this fun and quick study course. Steve has done a great job explaining the tool, if you can bear with his fondness for black and gray color choices!

Mr Steve Cherubino, has sound grib and taught very well. Project particularly very handy and give you a solid background. I think if course more focus on project that will be more incredible rather to stuck with very very basic, and more focus on tools itself. I understood the tools in this course through projects and make more sense. If couple of project also on web graphics like designing header for web and how xara make easy to design a logo for website.. However very very thankful to you Sir, Steve Cherubino

An Excellent introduction to Graphic design for the non designer amongst us,Steve C does a superb job of teaching even a non artist/designer like myself,he shows how anyone can do this.Highly recommend this study course
By Ryan Ridenour on 8/30/2013
This is a great course on how to create graphics. You will learn several things that most people wont tell you about unless it's a big expensive course. Although this course is mostly done using Xara, the techniques and tips can be used in almost any program. The only reason I didn't give a full five stars is that it only focuses on using Xara to create graphics. Xara is a great program and is very similar to Inkscape in it's usage and tools. But none the less this course well worth the money and holds it's own against courses that are two to three times the money. Dont be a dummy, take the course and use it!
