Program Description

Learn Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign with your very first design project. Get to know Adobe’s industry-standard software and see how to use it to express your ideas. Through video-recorded classes and practical assignments, you learn the software at your own pace. The on-Demand course is for anyone who wants to learn the basics of design and is a good first step on the path to other design studies.

The course covers the core functionalities of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. As you develop your skills and confidence, you’ll also gain better insight into their respective strengths, weaknesses, and characteristics.

You’ll develop better workflow habits by choosing the right tool for the job and discovering how the different applications can work together harmoniously. The course challenges you with a series of video tutorials and practical exercises as you create your first own design project.

This self-paced course builds your skills in:

  • Photoshop
  • InDesign
  • Illustrator

After the course, you have a basic knowledge that allows you to practice further on your own. Or you can push yourself and apply to other design courses at Berghs at a higher level, where basic software skills are a prerequisite. View your course progression options below.

About the School

At Berghs, we love all forms of communication and are compelled onwards by people fulfilling their potential. Our goal is to keep educating the top communicators of tomorrow, something we’ve been busy doing since 1941.

Powering development – yesterday, today, and tomorrow

We’re often described as a world-leading communication school. In the last five years, Berghs has continued to impress at One Show’s student competition “Young Ones,” ranking among the Top 5 schools in the world and the best school in Europe.

Education that leads to jobs.

Our students are sought after for their ability to quickly translate their knowledge into action, and 97% have a job in their field of study within six months of graduation. So, what’s our secret?

At Berghs, we believe in integration – among students, programs, disciplines, subjects, the industry, agencies, entrepreneurs, and organizations. No silos.

Action-based learning is our philosophy. We provide students with theories and tools. Then we asked them to apply that to a practical case. Learning by doing.

Only industry professionals as instructors . We have no permanent teaching staff at Berghs but a Faculty that hires industry professionals and help them to pass their knowledge on to the students. This way content is always fresh and students learn straight from the industry.

School of the Year

At the Cannes Lions festival, we’ve won the AKQA Future Lions School of the Year Award on seven different occasions, competing against more than 60 schools from 40 countries. Since it started in 2005, we’ve received the main award in 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2010, and 2009.
