Before Lesson 1
How it works
Learn at your pace, with notes on your work.
Feedback
When you finish a lesson, you make the homework and upload it to the course.
A working designer on the Jumpstart team looks at it and leaves plain, specific notes on the piece: what is working, and what to try next. Make a new version, upload it again, and see how far it has come.
The person who looks at your homework may be your teacher or another instructor. Either way, it is a real professional, not a forum and not a bot.
Time and pace
Start Here and Lesson 1 open the day you start. Lessons 2 to 6 then open one a week, at 9 am Central on the weekday you started, and the three parts of the final project open together in week 7. Nothing closes, so take the time you need.

Who it is for
A good fit if
- You want to explore motion design seriously, not just dabble.
- You would rather follow a clear path than hop between YouTube tutorials.
- You learn best by making real projects.
Questions
- Do I need any experience?
- No. The courses are made for beginners. If you are curious and willing to practice, you can start.
- When does it start?
- When you do. Buy the course and your first lesson opens.
- How long do I keep it?
- For life, once the course is paid for, including anything added to it later.
- Who looks at my homework?
- Working designers on the Jumpstart team. It may be your teacher or another instructor. Either way it is a real professional.
- What software do I need?
- Adobe Creative Cloud. It is not included in the price.
- Is this accredited?
- No, and that is on purpose. Studios and clients ask to see your work, not a certificate. We help you make the work.
