PHOTOSHOP? INDESIGN? ILLUSTRATOR? PREMIERE PRO?

Heard a lot about Photoshop and other Adobe creative software, think it could be useful but not sure where to start or which programs to use?

In this four-session course guided by arts educator Alex Harwood, dip your toes in four of the most commonly used Adobe programs and discover what they have to offer.

Taking you through a guided personal project around the theme of personal & family histories, we’ll introduce you to the basics of four core programs so that you can get to grips with what each is used for and can do.
