Meet your classmates, get comfy with the Student Portal, and dive right in with your first
project designed to get you creating on the first day!
Time to jump in and start creating vector artwork with Adobe Illustrator using the some of
the most important tools the program has to offer.
Jump into Photoshop, where you’ll learn how to cut out and manipulate assets, and even
have your first taste of taking direction from a Creative Director.
Take a week off to focus, get a short primer on the history of Adobe software, and why a
lot of the tools you’ve been using feel very similar even though they’re in different.
Let’s explore tools and techniques that will help you build up your design chops. By the
end of this week you’ll be more confident and ready for an even bigger challenge.
You’ll be challenged like never before with a real-world project that will put all of your
new-found Photoshop and Illustrator knowledge to the test.
You’ve got an additional 2 weeks to finish your final project! This should give you plenty of
time to give that project some polish so you can start building up your portfolio.
