The course costs $300. We understand that the current trend of design courses in the social media space is to price them at value-based pricing for the students, and courses usually range from $2,000-5,000. We support all creators charging their worth.

Our pricing model, however, places accessibility first. We want as many people as possible to join the course, and do not believe in putting sustainability information behind a steep pay-wall. Transparency is a huge value of ours as well (which is why we’re even bothering to write this disclaimer!) As such, we’ve priced the course as low as we possibly can (while still being able to pay our bills and keep the lights on in the studio to continue to do sustainable design work). If these prices are inaccessible to you, please send us an email at hello@littlefoxdesign.com.

We want your help to shape the culture of the design industry and normalize sustainable design–providing a low-cost, comprehensive course is our first step towards that.

The course never closes. The course is evergreen–you can sign on at any time. We do not want to restrict anyone from learning or purchasing the course at the right time financially, or schedule-wise for them. We will relaunch the coaching calls a few times a year, but the course content will be available all year round. If you’re interested in the community aspect and going through the course with others, these relaunches will be the ideal time to register.
We want the course to be an ongoing resource guide, and allow people to go through it at their own pace and reference videos and sections whenever they need. All students have lifetime access to the course. In all likelihood we’ll be updating this content as we continue to learn more ourselves and you’ll have access to any upgrades or additional units we put in over time at no extra cost.

There is 13 hours of dense lecture content in the course and over 30+ hours of coaching call replay content with time-stamped questions.

Graphic designers, educators, and graphic design students who are looking to learn how to add actionable, tangible sustainable design practices into their independent or studio design work. It’s ideal for those who have a design studio already but are looking to work with more ethical, eco-conscious businesses and want to be able to walk the talk. However, we have had several students who work in-house that have gotten a lot out of the course as well.

The course is NOT designed to teach you graphic design or the programs like Adobe Suite or Figma. If you have no knowledge of graphic design or aren’t a designer we don’t recommend this course.

Note: All videos have Closed Captions/Transcripts for accessibility.

The course is deigned to teach you how to make sustainable choices on your own for any project in any city. We will teach you the criteria for evaluating sustainable choices.

As such, while it is impossible for us to research things such as individual recycling systems in every individual country or even city that a possible student might reside in, our course is based around researched frameworks and principles of sustainability that are vastly applicable across the globe. As such, there is very little information that is directly geolocked or only relevant to the USA: there are a few resources that include recommendations for North American printers, but this is merely a linked resource, not part of lecture content.

We have a Geneva community that all students can join. There you can talk to us, ask questions, or post resources you find. We feel it is important to note that while the community was active in previous years during the pandemic, post-pandemic the discussion has slowed and it is pretty empty. The community is still available to join - or you can ask us questions over email!

The Green Designer Certification is an optional part of the Green Graphic Design Course. The certification is a fun way you can show off your sustainable learning and values! It’s for students who want to proudly show off they’re committed to sustainable design in their work.

The certification does not cost any extra money. Attached to each unit is a quiz, if you complete each quiz we’ll send you the certification! The quizzes are for participation only, and to test your learning (for yourself) and are not “officially” graded. We figure if anyone’s taking the quizzes, they cared to engage with the content and are committed to sustainability.

The certification has no monetary value and is just a small logo to help start conversations with clients! It’s just a tool to help you market your values.

You can use the certification anywhere: your website, print materials, inquiry emails, presentations, social media, etc. There are no restrictions! Wherever you think it’ll help promote your sustainable commitments and get clients interested in working with a sustainable professional! You can even modify it to put it in your brand colours! You’ll get .EPS files alongside JPG/PNG and a small “style guide” with ideas/general information about it and how to talk about your learning outcomes from the course.

Two times a year we’ll be launching group coaching calls that happen weekly for approximately two months.

These calls last about an hour and are free to all students (past and present) and encourage a group of students to join the course together and build friendships and community. We’ll be here to support you as well through your learning each week. In the few months we’re not running coaching calls, we’re available in the Geneva or via email to help you out!

Note: No matter when you join you’ll have access to the calls when we run them! Feel confident to join at any time.

If you’re worried about missing the coaching calls/office hours - don’t! They’re optional drop-in calls for anyone at any time. We have no expectations students show up to them regularly! We usually wait about 20 minutes past the call start time to see if anyone will join before we close the call. All the live calls are all recorded, so you can watch the replay. You can also submit questions for us ahead of time which we will answer on the calls, or provide written answers on the respective Unit video page!

Approximately 2-3 hours a week. There is on average about 2 hours of lecture content a week, with some units including additional materials or readings. Students should also schedule approximately 1 hour a week to participate in coaching calls (if desired, if they’re live), and time to take the quiz!

Absolutely. Send us an email at hello@littlefoxdesign.com and we will work out the details. We’ll be able to help you assess the learning outcomes, frameworks, and materials covered in the course!
