Learn the essentials of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign (updated 3.31.2017) Bestselling Created by Derrick Mitchell Last updated 10/2017 English English What Will I Learn? Understand the nuances of working with both print and screen based projects in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Learn and understand the principles and elements of design, color theory, typography, and many of the necessary skills to become a great graphic designer for print and web. Be employable in the creative industry as a graphic designer for print and web Requirements Have access to the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I will be using a Mac, but you can just as easily follow along with a Windows machine since the principles will be the same and the apps work on either platform. Be proficient with using a computer, although prior knowledge of any of the Adobe apps is not necessary. However, this is not an “A to Z” course for every bell and whistle that each app provides, but rather a roadmap for how to make awesome projects that people are willing to pay for or that employers are looking for you to have skills with creating. Some creative skills (drawing, photography, etc.) are helpful and will definitely give you a better chance at becoming successful as a designer, but not required. Description This course is for anyone who is interested in becoming a graphic designer, and especially geared towards total beginners. I’ll show you how to make some of the most popular projects in the industry, like custom logos, business cards, brochures, web graphics, and more. We will be using Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator; the industry-standard applications for graphic design. I’ll also review relevant terms and design practices to help you create pixel-perfect projects for print and web, with the goal to get you up and running as soon as possible so you can start your new and exciting career as a graphic designer. We have a private Facebook group with over 5600 students and counting, which is an awesome resource for you to take advantage of while you go through the course. The group is an excellent place to post projects, get insightful critiques, and network with other like-minded students and working professionals all over the world. All project files are included as a free download at the beginning of each section, and you are welcome to use the files however you want, or simply to follow along with the projects as we move through the lessons. You should take this course if you are at all interested in graphic design and becoming a designer to see if this career path is a good fit for you. We will start with basic principles and move through to more advanced projects so you will be prepared to create anything your clients and/or employer needs. NOTE – we cover a lot of program shortcuts in this course as well! 10/6/16 UPDATE: Have you heard? The latest release of Adobe Creative Cloud 2017 is finally here! I’m both stoked and panicking… stoked because with the new update there are all kinds of new and exciting changes, and panicking because now I need to review the course and make updates to ensure you can still follow along. For the most part, all of the principles you will learn in this course transcend the tools you actually use – There are students using Adobe versions from CS3 up to CC 2017, and there are even students using apps like Sketch and Pixelmator to make some of the projects in this course. If you see anything in any of the lectures that no longer apply with the software update, please let me know! I’m doing my best to keep this course up to date and continue to add value for you. 07/13/2017 UPDATE: We launched a daily online graphic design newspaper as an added resource for our students! It will be a great companion to our Private class Facebook group (which has 5,600 members and growing). We look forward to seeing you join in the fun! Who is the target audience? Someone in the corporate world who is looking to gain skills in graphic design so you can produce graphics and print materials for your company. Someone looking to start a career as a graphic designer. Someone wanting to start their own business as a freelance graphic designer. Ideally, you are someone who would consider yourself as “creative” and you often find yourself doodling on a notebook or napkin. You notice artwork around you, and when you see cool graphics on posters or in catalogs and brochures, you stop to admire them and wonder how they are made. You might be the “family photographer” and you always find yourself taking photos or videos with family and friends. You also have a strong attention to detail and strong focus to stay engaged in a project even when it might be boring. Size: 4.86G https://www.udemy.com/graphic-design-for-beginners/
