This digital Graphic Design Course from Art and the City includes the following components: design with Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. All the skills you need to get started as a DTP professional or graphic designer! It’s a very interactive course where you receive immediate feedback on your work. The teacher will explain the tools and once implemented, will check if you are using them correctly. Your designs and assignments are also discussed, not only concerning technique, but also composition and use of colour.
Your creativity is addressed and you are challenged – especially after you have learned the rules of the trade – to draw outside the lines.

You must already know the interface and navigation per program, how to work with the basic tools, palettes & menus and what the differences are between different file formats.
