Why take this course

Adobe Creative Cloud is a set of applications and services that gives users access to a collection of software used for graphic design, video editing, web development, and photography, along with a set of mobile applications and cloud services.

In this course, Brandon A. Gibbs will teach the fundamental principles of designing a presentation and the basics of Adobe Illustrator and Indesign. He’ll go over the workflows of how to use Indesign and Illustrator to create compelling diagrams, presentations, and portfolios, and how to use these tools in your day-to-day work.

Learn how to produce amazing presentations

In the first part of this course, you’ll learn how to create enticing diagrams based on a variety of examples. This will be mainly done using Illustrator. After the diagram creation, you’ll learn how to plan and design a presentation using diagrams and various other visuals. Brandon will go over visual composition, the use of color and fonts, perspective and organization, and other important rules of thumb to get the most out of your presentation and make it look professional and cohesive.

The second part will focus on creating a portfolio in Indesign. There are two different workflows that will be used. An internal portfolio presentation where the focus will mainly be on speed and efficiency and the creation of a client portfolio presentation. Here the focus will lie on quality and how to create stunning visuals on every page.

This course is for people who are looking to learn the basics of Adobe Illustrator and Indesign to create amazing presentations and portfolios.

Excellent Interoperability
