This course focuses on the fundamental toolkit of the modern designer and the development of the technical skills required for further work in graphic design. Students master Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and other programs, learning to understand their capabilities and select the appropriate tool based on the task.

Throughout the learning process, students work with vector and raster graphics, images, text, 3D, and AI tools; they process photographs, work with layers, masks, color and typography, grids, and composition, and learn basic file preparation for print. These technical skills are reinforced through practical exercises, workshops, and small project assignments.

By the end of the course, students will be able to confidently navigate major graphic editors and understand the principles of working with various types of visual material. The course builds the technical foundation necessary for further study and professional practice in design.
