# AI Graphic Design Bootcamp

Canonical URL: <https://www.creativelive.com/learning-path/ai-for-graphic-design-bootcamp>

## Overview

Start at fundamentals, finish at a job-ready portfolio, and learn to fold AI into the work along the way. You get command of the industry's core tools — Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign — together with the typography, color, layout and composition judgment that separates competent design from good design. Figma follows, for wireframes, prototypes and finished UI.

Everything gets applied to work worth showing: logos, posters, layouts, digital products. On the AI side you use ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly and Midjourney alongside Creative Cloud's built-in features to develop concepts, refine imagery and cut production time — then go further, building live design applications of your own, from a portfolio site to a brand studio.
