This course offers an in-depth exploration of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, two of the most widely used design tools in the creative industry. You'll start with Illustrator, learning the workspace layout, including control panels, tool panels, and multiple artboards. As you progress, you'll gain hands-on experience with selection and alignment tools, mastering basic shapes, stroke, and fill, as well as more advanced topics like pathfinders and shape builder techniques. You'll also explore transforming objects through scaling, reflecting, and distorting. Additionally, the course delves into color theory, including CMYK, RGB, and custom color creation, giving you a solid foundation for color manipulation in design. Brush tools, gradients, blends, and 3D object creation are also covered, ensuring you can handle a wide range of vector design tasks.

In Photoshop, the course begins by introducing you to the workspace and essential tools, such as selections and adjustment layers. You'll learn how to make precise photo corrections using tools like the clone tool, healing brush, and content-aware fill. The course covers everything from basic photo editing, such as cropping and rotating images, to more advanced skills like adjusting color and tone, sharpening edges, and creating detailed masks. You'll also explore working with layers, applying gradients, and creating complex compositions using the rule of thirds and the golden ratio. The vector tools in Photoshop, including the pen tool and smart objects, are also introduced, allowing you to create scalable graphics within a raster environment.

The course concludes with a series of practical projects in both Illustrator and Photoshop, such as logo design, icon creation, business card design, and social media kits. You'll also tackle larger projects like mockups, packaging design, and web templates, gaining experience in both print and digital media. With assignments and exercises that mimic real-world design challenges, this course prepares you to confidently handle a wide range of design tasks, equipping you with the skills necessary for a successful career in graphic design.
