About the Graphic Designing course
Logos, visiting cards, brochures, social media posts, packaging, banners and magazine pages all begin with a graphic designer. The Graphic Designing course at NETWORK NET teaches you to create these designs with the software used in studios, print shops, publishing houses and marketing teams. Over about four months you learn five design programs and finish by building a professional portfolio of your own work.
You start with Adobe Photoshop for photo editing, retouching, compositing and social media graphics. Next comes Adobe Illustrator for vector artwork such as logos, icons and illustrations that stay sharp at any size. CorelDRAW is covered because it is still widely used in Indian print and signage businesses for flex banners, stickers and visiting cards. For multi-page layouts you learn Adobe InDesign, the standard tool for brochures, magazines and books, along with PageMaker, an older layout program that Adobe no longer develops but which you may still meet in some DTP and printing setups. The last module, Portfolio Designing, helps you select and present your best work.
Along with the software, you learn the design basics that make work look professional: layout, alignment, colour, typography, and preparing files correctly for print and for screens. If you are unsure how these programs differ, read our comparison of graphic design software.
Who should join
- Students after 10th or 12th who enjoy drawing, colours or creative work
- College students and graduates who want a creative, skill-based career
- DTP operators and print shop staff who want to upgrade their skills
- Marketing and social media staff who need to create their own creatives
- Small business owners who want to design their own logos, posters and posts
