Course Description

This course bundle is for anyone who wants to get a start in the creative design industry. You’ll learn techniques for image editing, vector graphic creation, and page layout using the industry-standard Adobe CC applications.

Each self-directed video course begins with foundational concepts such as navigating the interface and setting preferences, and then moves on to more advanced concepts such as working with layers, adding effects, styling text, and publishing. Work along with the included project files to create the same projects as shown in the training, and then take the Masterclass quizzes to assess what you’ve learned.

Please note: Course of study may be completed earlier than indicated and students retain access for one year for reference purposes.
