# Course Completion Guide

## To complete this course you must:
1. Finish all 30 days in order (lessons + exercises + assignments).
2. Submit the 6 practical projects (`13-STUDENT-PROJECTS/`).
3. Pass the assessments: **60% overall** (see `01-COURSE-STRUCTURE/Skills-Assessment-Plan.md`).
4. Submit the **Final Portfolio Project** (Project 6) — it counts 25%.

## Certificate
- On completion you qualify for the **ARTTECHES Graphic Designing Mastery —
  Course Completion Certificate**.
- See `16-CERTIFICATION/Certificate-Requirements.md` for exact criteria and
  `16-CERTIFICATION/Certificate-Text.md` for the certificate wording.
- This is an ARTTECHES course completion certificate, **not** an externally
  accredited qualification.

## After the course
1. Polish your portfolio (Day 28 guide).
2. Set up freelancing profiles (Day 29 guide + `15-FREELANCING-AND-EARNING/`).
3. Follow the **90-Day Earning Roadmap** — skill + portfolio + outreach = clients.
   No income is guaranteed; earnings depend on skill, portfolio, demand,
   communication, and consistent work.

## Keep learning
- Re-do weak days. Design improves with repetition, not just reading.
- Suggested next skills: advanced branding, motion graphics, UI design.
