In a world where creativity meets technology, finding the right educational platform to hone your skills and advance your career is no small task. Whether you’re an aspiring graphic designer, a budding motion artist, or an experienced creative looking to pivot into artificial intelligence, choosing the right Master’s programme can be transformative. At the intersection of academic excellence, practical relevance, and human-centred learning stands LABASAD – Barcelona School of Arts and Design. And it’s not just another online school — it’s a vibrant community, a career accelerator, and for many, a life-changing experience.

Why LABASAD?

LABASAD is a fully online school based in Barcelona that offers more than 30 specialised Master’s programmes in areas such as Graphic Design, Illustration, Motion Graphics, Interior Design, Photography, Branding, and Generative Artificial Intelligence — in both Spanish and English. It caters to a global audience of creatives who seek professional, flexible, and up-to-date training. LABASAD is where your creative drive meets structure, support, and success.

But what truly sets LABASAD apart? Let’s dive deeper.

and Methodology: The Best of Both Worlds

LABASAD’s unique methodology is one of the cornerstones of its excellence. All classes are delivered live in real time, encouraging active participation, immediate feedback, and genuine human connection. Can’t make a session? No problem. Every class is recorded and accessible anytime through the intuitive online campus. This dual model merges the interactivity of face-to-face education with the flexibility of remote learning, allowing students from every corner of the world to engage deeply and consistently.

To enhance this experience, each student is accompanied by a dedicated Academic Coordinator, who provides continuous guidance and support throughout the course. This personal mentorship ensures that no one feels adrift, and every challenge is met with clarity and encouragement.

Total Flexibility Without Compromise

Modern life is multifaceted. Many aspiring designers are balancing jobs, family commitments, and personal projects. LABASAD’s flexible structure respects that. The Online Campus is your personal portal to creative growth — a space where you’ll find not only lectures and resources, but also forums, project briefs, tools, and a vibrant community.

This approach redefines “remote learning.” You’re not just studying from home — you’re immersed in an international design ecosystem, where support is one click away, and creative inspiration is just around the corner.

Learn from the Best: World-Class Faculty

When considering where to study design, one of the most important questions is: “Who will I learn from?” LABASAD’s answer is simple: top-tier professionals who are shaping the design world today. The school’s faculty includes working designers, illustrators, motion artists, and strategists who collaborate with globally recognised brands.

These aren’t instructors who teach outdated theory — they’re professionals on the cutting edge, sharing real-world tools, techniques, and trends. Their industry insight gives students not just a diploma, but a competitive edge.

Build a Portfolio that Opens Doors

At LABASAD, learning is grounded in doing. Each Master’s programme is structured around real projects and practical challenges, allowing students to build a professional-grade portfolio that stands out in job applications and client pitches alike.

From brand identity systems and editorial design to interior visualisations and AI-driven content, the projects are crafted to reflect the demands of the current design market. And with optional workshops in key tools like Illustrator, Photoshop, Cinema 4D, and AutoCAD, LABASAD ensures that technical proficiency accompanies creative expression.

What Students Say

One of the strongest endorsements of LABASAD’s impact comes from its students themselves.

Zuzanna Wasążnik, a graduate of the Online Master’s in Graphic and Digital Design, shares:

“I’m grateful to LABASAD and my professors for giving me the tools and freedom to express my ideas visually and discover my creative voice. This experience has strengthened my commitment to using design for positive change.”

Tania Hernández, a brand designer and student of the Online Master’s in Challenging Branding, echoes that sentiment:

“Lifelong learning is essential for me, and that’s why I chose LABASAD. Exchanging ideas with classmates and working in a collaborative environment has been a huge source of inspiration in my professional life.”

Amador Artiga, a digital creative enrolled in the Online Master’s in Motion Graphics, adds:

“Each assignment was a challenge to leave my comfort zone. I’ve not only gained new techniques but also confidence in my work. LABASAD helped me discover new areas within the industry I hadn’t considered before.”

These testimonials reveal what brochures cannot: the transformation LABASAD inspires is both professional and personal.

LABASAD & Artificial Intelligence: Shaping the Future

Design and technology are converging, and LABASAD is at the forefront of that evolution. The school’s new AI area features pioneering programmes like an Online Master’s in Generative Artificial Intelligence for Creatives. This forward-thinking course empowers students to incorporate AI into design, visual storytelling, and communication. From generating imagery and text to synthesising video and sound, students gain strategic insights and technical fluency in emerging technologies. Crucially, AI is not confined to specific programmes: all Master’s courses at LABASAD integrate modules and workshops that encourage AI as a creative catalyst.

LABASAD’s impact doesn’t end with graduation. Its students and alumni are frequent recipients of international accolades, including the Pentawards, ADG-FAD LAUS Awards, Motion Design Awards, LAMP Lighting Awards, and even the Young Lions at Cannes. But more than trophies, what defines the LABASAD community is its spirit of connection and shared growth. In contrast to the solitude often associated with online education, LABASAD cultivates a warm, collaborative culture. Live discussions, peer reviews, shared challenges, and creative feedback are part of daily life. It’s an environment that celebrates curiosity, experimentation, and collective achievement.
