This summer, high school students can master the three Adobe applications that define professional graphic design: Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. In this live, online program, every session is built around real design projects that produce real portfolio work.
The program begins with Adobe Photoshop, covering photo retouching and compositing, image combining, web graphics preparation, and essential production workflows.
The InDesign section provides comprehensive training in professional layout and print design. Students learn to style and manage typography, import images and graphics, build and navigate multi-page documents, define color systems, and thread text frames across layouts, core skills for editorial, publishing, branding, and marketing design work.
The Illustrator section introduces students to the fundamentals of vector art and graphic design: the standard drawing tools, Pen tool mastery, Type, Compound Paths, Effects, Layers, Masks, Patterns, Blends, and color management.
