Learning a new skill should lead somewhere: a better job, your first freelance client, or a business that grows. That is the idea behind GraphUp, the learning platform of Graphisco Creative Studio. It brings the same practical approach we use with real clients into the classroom, so students learn skills they can use straight away.
GraphUp has already trained more than 1,000 students across 41 batches. Here is what it offers, who it is for and how to join.
What is GraphUp?
GraphUp is where Graphisco teaches. Instead of long theory, every course is built around practice: real briefs, live feedback and projects you can show in a portfolio. You can learn in three ways, depending on where you are and how you like to study.
Five courses to choose from
- Graphic Design – colour, typography, layout, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, AI tools, branding, marketing creatives and print design.
- Meta Marketing – Facebook and Instagram for business, from content planning and Reels to Meta Ads Manager, targeting, Pixel tracking and scaling campaigns.
- Web Development – HTML, CSS and JavaScript, responsive layouts, WordPress and Elementor websites, domains and hosting, and WooCommerce stores.
- Spoken English – everyday conversation, pronunciation, fluency, interviews, presentations and professional English for client calls.
- Art and Painting – drawing and shading, colour theory, watercolour and acrylic, portraits, and building a finished collection in your own style.
Three packages for every course
Every course comes in three levels, so you can start with the basics or go all the way to a professional level:
- Essential (1 month) – the foundations of the subject.
- Standard (3 months) – job-ready skills and real projects. This is the package we recommend for most students.
- Advanced (6 months) – professional-level work, a portfolio and, where it fits, freelancing skills.
Not sure yet? You can start with a short online webinar for PKR 199, or a free in-person workshop in Lahore, before choosing a package.
Three ways to learn
1. Online, live on Zoom
Online classes are held live on Zoom every Saturday and Sunday, from 6:15 to 7:45 PM (Pakistan time). Each batch has only 12 seats, so students get real attention from the instructor.
- Essential: PKR 1,999/month (regular PKR 9,000/month)
- Standard: PKR 2,999/month for 3 months (regular PKR 30,000/month)
- Advanced: PKR 3,999/month for 6 months (regular PKR 60,000/month)
Pay the full course fee upfront for Standard or Advanced and get an extra 10% off.
2. In person, at our Lahore studio
For students who prefer a classroom, GraphUp also runs in-person batches at our studio in Lahore, with 25 seats per batch. Students bring their own laptop, and high-speed Wi-Fi is provided.
- Essential: PKR 9,999 for 1 month (regular PKR 24,000)
- Standard: PKR 25,999 for 3 months, about PKR 8,667 a month (regular PKR 50,000)
- Advanced: PKR 49,999 for 6 months, about PKR 8,333 a month (regular PKR 100,000)
Here too, paying the full Standard or Advanced fee upfront gives you an extra 10% off. In-person admissions are currently closed. You can join the waitlist on the GraphUp page and we will contact you when the next Lahore batch opens.
3. Affiliated: Minhaj University Lahore (DODL)
GraphUp also offers a pre-recorded Graphic Design Masterclass with Minhaj University Lahore’s Directorate of Open and Distance Learning (DODL). You watch the lessons at your own pace and earn an online certificate through the university.
