4-Month Studio Program | Portfolio-Driven Learning | Industry Tools
What You Learn
Think Like a Designer. Before learning tools, students explore how design shapes everyday life, businesses, and communication. You’ll learn to observe, question, and approach problems with a designer’s mindset.
Participants begin with the foundations of visual communication — hierarchy, typography, color, and layout — before moving into professional design tools. The program covers Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe InDesign, along with the role of AI in modern design workflows.
Tools are not taught in isolation.
They are applied through real design problems and creative projects.
The 16-Week Learning Journey
The program unfolds over sixteen weeks, each building a different layer of design capability.
Month 1 - Focuses on design thinking and fundamentals.
Month 2 - Introduces branding, logo design, and visual identity systems.
Month 3 - Develops visual storytelling and advertising design using Photoshop.
Month 4 - Explores layout systems, AI-assisted design workflows, and portfolio development.
Each week combines concept learning, demonstration, application, and critique.
Learning is not passive.
Work evolves through iteration.
Assignments and Portfolio
Every session leads to a practical assignment. Projects include poster design, brand identity concepts, social media creatives, advertising visuals, and editorial layouts.
These assignments gradually build a professional portfolio that reflects both creative thinking and visual execution.
