# AI Design Certificate Program Online Beginner to portfolio-ready|Self-Paced|12 Courses|438 Hours Canonical URL: ## Overview This certificate program covers the full range of modern design practice, starting from no prior design or coding experience. It begins with the foundations, including design principles, color theory, typography, and grid-based layout, then builds professional command of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign through hands-on projects rather than feature tours. From there the program moves into digital product design: Figma, interface patterns, design systems, user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing across a complete UX process. What distinguishes the program is where it goes next. You learn to generate and refine images across Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, DALL-E, and Google Imagen, with the prompt engineering and commercial licensing knowledge that client work requires, and then to build and deploy real web applications using AI coding tools, integrating databases, authentication, and hosting. Graduates finish with an eight-piece graphic design portfolio, a documented UX case study, and three live deployed applications, which together demonstrate design capability from concept through working product. ## What you'll learn - Apply design principles, color theory, typography, and grid-based layout to professional work - Retouch, composite, and edit non-destructively in Adobe Photoshop - Create vector logos, icons, and brand assets in Adobe Illustrator - Design multi-page, print-ready documents in Adobe InDesign - Build an eight-piece graphic design portfolio published to Adobe Portfolio - Design and prototype interfaces in Figma with components, variants, and design tokens - Conduct user research and document a portfolio-ready UX case study - Generate and integrate AI imagery with correct commercial licensing - Build and deploy three production web applications with AI coding tools ## Curriculum 1. **Adobe Photoshop Bootcamp Online** 2. **Adobe Illustrator Bootcamp Online** 3. **Adobe InDesign Bootcamp Online** 4. **Graphic Design Portfolio Bootcamp Online** 5. **Figma Bootcamp Online** 6. **Figma Advanced Course Online** 7. **UI Design Portfolio Bootcamp Online** 8. **UX Design Foundations Course Online** 9. **UX & UI Design Bootcamp Online** 10. **AI for Graphic Design & Multi-Model Workflows Course Online** 11. **AI Coding Tools & App Development Course Online** 12. **AI Design Portfolio Development Course Online** ## FAQ ### Who is the target audience for this course?
