I've just completed Stanmore's Undergraduate Certificate in Set Design, and I'm chuffed with the experience and knowledge I've gained. The course taught me how to apply design principles to set design, and I've created some fantastic pieces I'm truly proud of. With the guidance of experienced instructors, I've learned to utilise software tools like SketchUp and Vectorworks to bring my ideas to life. My only critique is that I would've appreciated more feedback on my work, but overall, I'm highly satisfied with this course.
