This bootcamp is self-paced. For live online or in-person instruction, take Graphic Design Portfolio Bootcamp.

This course serves as the capstone of the Graphic Design Certificate Program, which means it's designed for students who already have working knowledge of Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. Throughout the course, you'll deepen your understanding of graphic design concepts and processes, both formal and conceptual, while building out a portfolio of work you're genuinely proud to share. You'll learn about the elements of design, develop your ability to discuss your work clearly, and practice incorporating and evaluating critiques to strengthen your designs. When you're ready to share your work with the world, you'll upload everything to Adobe Portfolio, which comes included with your Creative Cloud membership, giving you a polished portfolio website to show potential employers or clients.

If you still need to learn Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator before enrolling, the full Graphic Design Certificate has you covered. It bundles all four courses together at a 25% discount and includes one-on-one mentoring with a professional design expert, making it a smart option for beginners who want a structured, supported path from the ground up all the way through to a completed portfolio.
