What will you learn?
Software is an important aspect of design, and you’ll master all the Adobe tools that have become industry standards in your time at the Academy of Digital Arts. However, great design is about far more than just using the right tools to create a pretty aesthetic – it’s about producing striking artwork with a defined purpose that speaks to a specific audience.
ADA students will learn to master this skill through a series of modules, each introducing specific topics and design challenges to round out your creative understanding.
By the end of the year, you’ll be fluent in the tools, practices, terminology and techniques used to produce professional print and digital media,
and confident in applying your skills to any creative challenge, from concept to completion.
You’ll leave our halls ready for the world that awaits you, equipped with a killer professional design portfolio and the confidence to sell your skills in any market.
