Graphics/Web Publishing/Adobe Creative Suite

xx
Adobe's Creative Suite software is the industry standard for today's creative technologies: print, web, illustration, digital photography, and more. With our classes in Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop, you will have a solid base on which to build your job skills and your creativity. Adobe's applications are interactive, that is, projects can be moved from one program to another for changes and adaptations. This makes for an endless source of creative choices.

BASIC DESIGN FOR PRINT AND WEB
Many people successfully take classes to learn a computer application, but the lack of knowledge of design principles stamps the output as done by an amateur. Learn basic design principles and train your eye for a more professional looking product. You will work on real-world projects for your business or personal life. Pre-requisite: Intro to Computers class, or other computer experience is required. Certificate offered.
