"The Intro class has given me amazing knowledge. If you are even considering this as a career, I would highly recommend this. If you have a dream to be a creative, this course actually gives you something tangible to make that happen. It turns a dream into an actual realistic path to get there."

T. Chelios
Introductory '26

"My ads and ideas have become more focused and intentional from the Intro class. If you're serious about improving ideas and building a strong portfolio, this workshop is absolutely worth it. The feedback is thoughtful and direct, and it's a great environment to experiment, learn from others, and develop work that you'll be proud to include in a portfolio."

J. Gamboa

C. Gansert

"In Advanced One the ongoing focus on making sure campaign concepts adhere strongly to a specific human insight has been a good exercise in specificity and consistency. The Book Shop is perfect for most people working full-time and is an efficient way to get your creative gears spinning and make valuable use of your time."

S. Hall
Advanced One '26

"I can definitely see my campaigns getting stronger over time, especially after taking Advanced II. The way I approach coming up with ideas feels really different than at the beginning of the course. These courses have been incredibly helpful for my portfolio. I can really see my work starting to hit a stride and getting stronger with each class."

S. Shapiro

"In the Copy class, I feel more prepared for what writing in the industry actually looks like. I love that this class is solely focused on writing. My portfolio is done, and it got me an internship. I love Book Shop and am extremely grateful for everyone involved."

"The Art Direction Layout Instructor is wicked smart with design, intentional about his feedback and has many interesting takes and pivots that I wouldn't have thought of. My art direction completely leveled up. Highly recommend!"
