Hi, I'm Derrick Mitchell
... a Creative Director with over 12 years of experience working as a graphic designer and a web developer. I’m also the creator of the Graphic Design Bootcamp series that currently has over 80,000 students from 190 countries.
Do you want to become a graphic designer, but have no idea where to start?
Watching “tutorial” after “tutorial” on YouTube and hoping you find what you need, and spending hours watching random content is no way to start your career.
I’ve been there too. When I first started my journey to become a graphic designer I knew absolutely nothing, but I loved studying art and graphics and learning how things were made.
I spent 4 years in college learning more about art history, communication arts, web development, graphic design, and a TON of “prerequisites” that I HAD to take but cared nothing about.
The biggest frustrations for me were that 1) I had to wade through whatever the professors wanted me to learn and it took the entire semester to “get to the good stuff.” You know… the “real” projects that were fun to learn, would actually show me how to make money, and that weren’t just “busy work.”
2) whatever I was learning from a technology standpoint, was already out of date because it takes so much time for textbooks to be written, approved by the college, and then eventually taught to the student. This process is so slow that whatever I was learning was already dated and nearly irrelevant. So frustrating, and I’m STILL paying off that $125,000 education for a degree that nobody cares about!
And 3) Don’t even get me started on the prerequisites… all those courses I HAD to take to get credit to graduate. Courses that I had zero desire to take and that in my honest opinion, have given me zero benefit since I’ve graduated.
That’s why I created the Graphic Design Bootcamp series and supporting courses.
My goal is to walk you through REAL projects that clients will actually PAY you for (if you’re looking to start your own business as a freelancer), and that design agencies or in-house design teams would expect you to know how to produce (if you’re looking to land a job somewhere instead of going at it solo).
You’ll get up and running incredibly fast without having to spend over $100,000 at a college or fumbling around on YouTube trying to find just the right tutorial, saving you hours of your time.
Since becoming a graphic designer, I’ve been able to travel the world working remote from wherever I am, spending time with my family, and making an incredible living working for clients all over the world. Yes, it took me time to get to where I could do that and gain the trust of my clients, but I’m going to show you how you can do the same, just like I’ve shown over 80,000 of my current students.

Create Pixel-Perfect Designs for Print and Web
Graphic Design Bootcamp: Part 1 ($199.99 Value)
Start with the absolute basics, and get up and running QUICKLY! I'll show you how to make some of the most popular projects in the industry, such as:
- custom logos
- business cards
- brochures
- web graphics
- and more.
Graphic Design Bootcamp: Part 2 ($199.99 Value)
This course is for anyone who is interested in becoming a graphic designer, and is especially geared towards intermediate students who have already completed Derrick's Graphic Design Bootcamp: Part 1 Course.
This course is based off of student conversations, and is updated frequently because it's a compilation of some of the most asked questions from Derrick's students, as well as real world knowledge from over a decade of working as a graphic designer and web developer.
Web Design with WordPress ($24.99 Value)
The main goal of this course is to teach anyone, even a complete beginner, how to setup a complete WordPress website quickly and easily. Then, we'll dive a little deeper and I'll show you exactly how I setup my sites for clients using custom themes and zero coding. I'll even show you how to create a custom portfolio website of your own.
Design Theory Blitz ($19.99 Value)
This course serves as a bird's-eye-view of Design Theory, including industry standards for alignment, contrast, and color in print and web design. Universities and colleges spend entire semesters teaching this single topic, and the goal of this course is NOT to condense every design theory out there into a quick course - that would be impossible. The goal of this course IS, however, to provide students with a solid baseline so that they can begin designing with confidence, and so that they have the tools and resources necessary to continue learning the theories and principles of graphic design on into the future. It's a blitz!
Batch Export Logos ($19.99 Value)
In this course, I will walk you through exactly how I package up a logo when I'm finished with the project so that the client has everything they need to put their brand new logo to use. These techniques can be used with any type of artwork you want to create and export from Adobe Illustrator, but for the purpose of this course, we are just focusing on logos.
The Community (priceless)
This community is brand new and is only available as part of the membership, so it's very exclusive and gives you direct access to me, our T.A., and the rest of the students in this platform. I'll be honest; this is new for me, and I want it to be a highly valuable addition to this platform where you can get direct help as you go through the content. Because it's so new, you'll play a critical role in the direction we take this. I can't wait!
Membership ($120/year Value)
Get access to exclusive content, monthly Live broadcasts where you can join in on the conversation, and access to Live content replays. You also get access to The Community with the membership.
The Future (about $400/year Value)
I have no idea where this crazy adventure is going to take us, but you'll get early access to all future courses and content that will be added to the library. I'm stoked to be here for you along the way!
