They will also grow to understand and use different technical aspects of font management systems and their appropriate project use for Adobe applications. The course will then focus on the main Adobe Cloud graphic applications, such as Photoshop and InDesign, before concentrating on Illustrator to help create, modify and transform objects for use across multiple media through various hands on projects.
