Training Your Team – Intro to Graphic Design

Intro to Graphic Design Course – Team Professional Development

We have developed a course which is great for employees in the workforce to advance their skills of visual design. Successful companies must consistently offer outstanding, unique marketing to help generate income and ensure growth. Until you master your visual marketing you won’t be attracting all of the potential customers/consumers that you could be.

In just 3 days, we can show you how you can unleash the creativity in your own office by teaching the team the basics of Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Acrobat.

We are able to train your team at your location or onsite at our training room on the Gold Coast. Another perk with training with Creative Training Solutions is that we can tailor our training to suit your specific business. If there are certain graphical tasks you would like your team to learn for your business we will be able to help you, no problems.

Where we have trained councils, governments, mining companies and large corporations plus many more.

By the end of the 3 days, you can set up for print or web any of your visual communication. This is our most popular course because we teach you the basics of:

Photoshop – which can manuiplate or enhance any image. During this day we will show you how to replace backgrounds, and use the selection tools.

Indesign – is a page layout program that puts it all together. So we bring in our vector elements and enhance photo images and create a double sided DL print ready PDF.
