📝 Description

This isn’t a deep-dive into every menu option. It’s a focused, hands-on walkthrough that gets you comfortable with the core tools in four different apps. You’ll start with Adobe Illustrator to understand vector shapes and masking, then jump into Canva to build actual social media graphics. From there, it’s into Lightroom for organizing your library and applying consistent color grades. Finally, you’ll hit Photoshop for targeted retouching—like removing a fence from a landscape shot.

The structure is built around short, actionable lessons. Each section ends with a class project where you apply what you’ve just learned. By the end, you’ll have a repeatable workflow: shoot, import, organize, edit, and publish. The focus is on real-world results, not theory.
