More than design: the value of getting certified in Adobe Photoshop

In sectors such as advertising, graphic design, fashion, or illustration, mastering a tool as well known as Adobe Photoshop has become an essential requirement for all those who want to develop their career

Adobe Photoshop, as the industry standard in image editing, continues to be one of the most widely used programs worldwide and in this sense, having a certification that certifies mastery of this application can open many doors for students who are starting out in the world of work and can become a key differentiating element when it comes to accessing internships, first jobs or professional collaborations

In the case of UDIT FPS, students who successfully complete the Higher Degree in 3D Animation, Games and Interactive Environments, receive the Adobe Photoshop Professional - Visual Design  certification which endorses the students' knowledge in five key areas

  • Fundamentals of professional design (colour theory, composition, formats, rights of use)
  • Technical project setup and workspace optimisation
  • Advanced document organisation and management through layers, masks and smart objects
  • Creation and modification of visual elements using retouching tools, typography and effects
  • Export for digital media, print or animation

This recognition guarantees that the professional not only understands the software, but is able to apply it in real contexts design and visual production 

In addition, those who obtain this certification can later complement their profile with other credentials from the Adobe ecosystem, such as Illustrator or InDesign, thus gaining access to the additional recognition "Adobe Certified Professional in Visual Design", a specialisation that highlights the value of transversal knowledge in graphic design

Training programmes such as the Higher Degree in 3D Animation, Games and Interactive Environments, integrate skills that not only enable students to create, but also to demonstrate their ability to the market
