📝 Description

This isn’t a theory-heavy lecture series. It’s a practical, tool-by-tool walkthrough of four industry-standard applications. You’ll start with Adobe InDesign, learning how to set up pages, work with text and images, and finish by building a real book cover. Then, you’ll move into Photoshop, where you’ll get comfortable with every tab and filter, from basic adjustments to the Raw Camera Filter.

Next up is Illustrator, where you’ll tackle vector graphics head-on. Expect to spend serious time with the Pen Tool, Curvature Tool, and Paint Brush Tool—the core of any vector workflow. Finally, you’ll wrap up with Lightroom, covering the entire photo editing pipeline from importing and organizing to color grading and exporting. The teaching style is direct: each lesson focuses on a specific tool or function, so you can easily jump back to review a technique later.

🧑‍🎓 Who this course is for

• Absolute beginners who want a structured, all-in-one introduction to graphic design software.
• Hobbyists or self-taught designers looking to fill in the gaps in their software knowledge.
