Graphic Design Software

Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator are the top two image editing applications for graphic designers and aspiring graphic designers would do well to learn how these applications work.

However, despite being supported by a huge number of tutorials and video blogs, they are difficult to master, and jumping straight in might discourage for school students. If you never used any graphic design software, the following applications would be a good place to start.

This lesson will introduce you to computer programs for painting and design that are specially designed for schoolchildren. Learn to use the basic tools of these computer programs. Complete all tasks of this topic carefully and diligently. After that, it will be much easier for you to work with more complex computer programs used by professional designers.
