Graphic Design presents a hands-on introduction to the technical and creative skills of a professional designer. First, learners find out the distinguishing features of communicating visually through graphic design. Next, they gain technical skills in Adobe Photoshop to equip them for graphic design work. From there, learners master the basic principles of graphic design and then delve into graphic design elements such as color, typography, and images.
