In this 12-day Graphic Design Certificate Program, you'll learn the essentials of the most versatile graphic design programs: Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator.
While many aspiring designers consider Photoshop to be the industry standard, professionals in the field are adept at using the whole Adobe suite. Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator serve different purposes, and designers must know how to maximize each program in order to work smarter, not harder.
By the end of this comprehensive course, you'll have learned all three programs, giving you a leg up on the competition. Take your newfound skills back to your current job, or use what you've learned to launch a new design business. Classes are small, and students expertly led through hands-on lessons resulting in portfolio-worthy projects. No prior experience necessary.
