Adobe’s suite of creative tools sets the industry standard for graphic design. In this course, you’ll learn to use:

  • Illustrator – Create vector graphics for logos, flyers, posters, banners, business cards, and more, for both print and web.
  • InDesign – Design professional layouts for brochures, books, magazines, and other multi-page projects, seamlessly integrating with Illustrator and Photoshop.
  • Photoshop – Edit, retouch, and enhance images or create original digital artwork using layers, masks, and selection tools.

 Access to the Adobe software tools is required.

Software Requirements: 

Students are responsible for purchasing their own software for this course. Trial versions of Adobe software are sometimes available on the Adobe company website.
If you're taking the entire “Graphic Design certificate” you'll need Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. Otherwise you may sign up for a single software.
