In this hands-on course, you'll build real skills across today's most in-demand platforms: Canva AI, Figma AI, Adobe Firefly, and Photoshop AI.

You'll learn to craft precise AI prompts, apply color and typography theory, generate and edit visuals ethically, and connect individual tools into a seamless end-to-end design ecosystem β€” all the way through to developer handoff.
