John Wigzell is a professional graphic designer based in Exeter. Originally trained in graphic design, illustration and photography, John has 20 years’ experience working with creative technology.

Individual needs will be catered for where possible. This course will be taught using the latest version of Adobe Illustrator/InDesign/Photoshop CC; the concepts covered are relevant to earlier versions too. Our courses are taught on Apple Mac computers; skills are directly transferable to Windows PCs. Where there are differences in the way the software works between the two systems, the tutor will point these out. A good working knowledge of Mac or PC systems is advantageous: we recommend attending our Introduction to Apple Mac course if you are new to the Apple Mac, before attending any of our digital courses.
