Redoing the title in a fresh style: Venturing into the Digital World for a New Profession
Marc Fraley, a veteran, embarked on a new career path in digital media after finding the perfect fit at Intellectual Point, an institution offering authorised VRRAP (Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program) training. The school provides technology-related digital media education under VRRAP, helping veterans like Fraley gain new skills for digital careers.
Fraley chose Intellectual Point because its curricula aligned best with his career goals. Despite having limited experience with After Effects, he found the motion graphic assignments to be the most challenging. However, he persevered and graduated with an Undergraduate Certificate in Digital Media.
During his time at Intellectual Point, Fraley had some previous exposure to digital media and Adobe Creative Suite. He found the program while researching under the VRRAP program and appreciated the flexibility of online study, as he had to balance his studies with work.
Fraley's hard work paid off. His digital media education advanced his creative and professional goals. Since graduation, he has been doing freelance work, including designing marketing postcards for an independent information technology business looking to expand into the educational and medical fields. His work was well-received by the client.
Fraley's most memorable project was a DVD cover for "The Wolfman". This project, completed in his Photoshop I course, was praised as professional-level work by his instructor. It is a project he is most proud of.
Fraley's digital media work can be viewed on his portfolio, Behance, YouTube, Instagram, and Tik Tok. He advises never to give up on passions and to keep skills sharp in between jobs to advance them. He finds it rewarding to create something that can help others achieve their goals, whether personal or professional.
