Choosing Graphic Design Software: Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator

Upcoming Classes

We have no upcoming HSLS live classes currently scheduled on this topic. Contact us for options.

Adobe software includes two powerful image editing programs, Photoshop and Illustrator. If you are planning to work with one or both of these programs, this class will introduce you to the basics of image types, which program features are most suitable for different image editing projects, and how to continue practicing with the software of your choice.

This session is strongly encouraged if you are a beginner. It is offered as the first session in a series of Photoshop and Illustrator workshops through HSLS.

You are not expected to use Photoshop or Illustrator during this class. Although the instructor will demonstrate the software, there will be no exercises done as a class.

Upon completing this class, you should be able to:
  • Identify editing features in Photoshop and Illustrator
  • Contrast raster and vector images
  • Identify the input and output of image projects
  • Recognize the interface and terminology of Photoshop and Illustrator
