But the term itself is a useful one, a way to describe the multi-platform talents of all the writers, photographers, designers we know; most dabble in a few of these mediums, and would like to learn more about the others. Whether you\u2019re looking to augment your resume or hop over to a different creative profession entirely, you\u2019re going to need to go back to school. Thankfully, it doesn\u2019t have to be literal school. (We\u2019re too old for keg stands!) There are thousands and thousands of online classes out there offering to sharpen your photo retouching skills, hone your copywriting, and transform your print design chops into app design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds great, right? Sure, but most of them are garbage. That&#8217;s why we dug through our favorite academies, masterclasses, and zero-dollars-charged websites to find the best classes for all types of creative skills. Some are great for taking your existing skills to the next level or keeping up-to-date with the latest software and best practices. Others are built for newcomers\u2014writers who want to learn how to make better images with a digital camera, photographers who want to pivot to video, or designers hellbent on learning the basics of front end web development so they can start coding for themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in the mood to learn, we\u2019ve got something\u2014free, paid, online, on-site, you name it. We dug through the muck to find you the best classes of all lengths, costs, and presentation styles; some of them are even fun to watch. Time to crack open those Moleskines and get to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/SectionHeaders-10-2-1024x460.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/SectionHeaders-10-2-1024x460.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/SectionHeaders-10-2-700x315.png 700w, https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/SectionHeaders-10-2-768x345.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/SectionHeaders-10-2-1200x539.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Fstoppers\u2019 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fstoppers.com\/photography-101-how-to-use-your-digital-camera-and-edit-photos-in-photoshop\"><strong>\u201cPhotography 101\u201d course<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Photography 101: Using Your Camera and Editing in Photoshop\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RHHtBJ3AdmA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost (Time + Money): <\/strong>$99 and seven-and-a-half hours of material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best For: <\/strong>Beginners looking to pick up the fundamentals of digital photography.

On the plus side, there\u2019s also lots of Masterclass courses, like Steph Curry\u2019s class on shooting a basketball or David Lynch\u2019s filmmaking course, both of which are worth watching even if you don\u2019t have All-Star or Oscar aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best For: <\/strong>Experienced writers looking to transition to a new genre of writing or hear from prolific professionals describe their approach to storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What You\u2019ll Learn: <\/strong>Masterclass brings top-level talent to teach their courses, which solves a big problem for most professional writers \u2014 that the rest of the writing advice out there on the internet is written by people who actually have less experience than them. While these classes are a bit heavier on theory and less so on tangible takeaways (Malcolm Gladwell won\u2019t teach you about verb tenses), it still couldn\u2019t hurt to see what writers like Judy Blume, Margaret Atwood, and Neil Gaiman have to say about their creative processes and approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>LinkedIn Learning\u2019s <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lynda.com\/Writing-tutorials\/Writing-Impact\/699321-2.html\"><strong>\u201cWriting With Impact\u201d<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost (Time + Money):&nbsp; <\/strong>LinkedIn Learning, which was formally named Lynda, costs $25\/month.
