DFC ACADEMY
Our latest venture, providing our most experienced students with the tools and exposure to take their design careers to the next level.
Academy Pillars
Resources
As part of the Academy, students receive MacBooks and access to the Adobe Creative Suite. They are trained on Adobe Illustrator, design software used at the highest levels of professional design.
Mentorship
Academy students learn directly from established Chester designers, artists, and photographers. Giving them mentors who are already leading the art movement in their city.
Exposure
Using the Design FC network, we are able to provide students with an opportunity to share their work on the world stage through collaborations with major brands and teams.
DESIGN FC AIM FOR THE WORLD COLLECTION.
Projects
