Adobe Design for Professional Graphic Production

Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop are used across the design industry to create the everyday assets that support brands, marketing, publishing, and digital content. Designers are often expected to work across all three applications, moving between vector creation, layout production, and image editing to deliver work that is consistent, accurate, and ready for production.

This course provides structured, application-based training across Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop, focusing on core tools and practical workflows. Students build capability through step-by-step lessons and production-focused tasks, covering vector illustration and logo creation, multi-page layout and typography, image retouching and manipulation, and export preparation for print and digital channels. The course also strengthens design fundamentals that support better decisions inside the software, including hierarchy, spacing, colour use, and consistency.
