Design Bundle: Beginner

Bundle Overview

The Design Bundle Beginner is the perfect starting point for anyone looking to break into the world of graphic design. Over six days of hands-on training, you’ll learn the fundamentals of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign — the three essential tools used by designers across the creative industry.

You’ll begin by mastering Photoshop, learning how to edit and enhance images, use layers and masks, and create striking digital artwork. Next, in Illustrator, you’ll explore vector graphics and develop your skills in creating logos, icons, and scalable illustrations. Finally, you’ll move into InDesign, where you’ll learn how to design professional layouts for brochures, magazines, and other print or digital documents.

Throughout the bundle, our expert instructors will guide you through real-world projects designed to reinforce practical skills and design thinking. You’ll gain confidence in navigating each application, understanding key design principles, and producing creative, professional results.

Delivered in small groups at our London training studios or live online, this beginner bundle provides an ideal foundation for anyone starting a career in design or looking to add creative software skills to their professional toolkit.
