This in-depth program takes you from design fundamentals to a job-ready portfolio while showing you how to bring AI into every stage of your creative process. You'll gain command of the industry's essential tools, including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, and absorb the principles of typography, color, layout, and composition that underpin strong design. From there, you'll advance into interface design with Figma, producing wireframes, prototypes, and refined UI for websites and apps. As you progress, you'll put these skills into practice on real projects such as logos, posters, layouts, and digital products you can present to employers and clients.
The program also readies you for the way design happens now. You'll work with leading AI tools like ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly, and Midjourney alongside the AI capabilities built into Creative Cloud to spark ideas, polish images, and accelerate production. Building on that, you'll take things further and use AI to create your own live design applications, from a custom portfolio website to brand studios and interactive design tools. By the time you finish, you'll have the technical ability, creative judgment, and portfolio you need to launch a modern career in graphic design.
