Learn the design tools, visual judgement and portfolio process employers actually see
Build practical creative capability through 30+ guided hours of graphic design training in Dubai and live online across the UAE. The course combines live teaching, recordings, an AI-powered LMS, structured practice, project feedback and portfolio-led work across Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Canva and Figma fundamentals.
EduDelphi provides KHDA-approved graphic design training and course-completion certification. This is a practical professional course, not a university degree or an Adobe certification examination.
A practical graphic design course for workplace and freelance-ready output
Graphic design is not only software operation. It is the ability to understand a brief, organise information, choose a visual direction, work with type and imagery, make a layout readable and prepare the final asset properly.
That is why the course moves from design principles into real deliverables such as social-media creative, a simple brand identity, a print-ready brochure or menu, and a portfolio presentation of the work.
Short course, not a design degree
Choose this route when you want focused, trainer-led practical skills and a starter portfolio. Choose a degree when you need a multi-year academic design pathway. Choose a single-tool class when you only need Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva or Figma.
A connected learning system for building design confidence
Trainer-led creative instruction
Dubai classroom or UAE-time live online sessions explain design choices, demonstrate workflow and let learners ask practical questions while building.
Recordings, LMS and visual notes
Return to recorded lessons, concise explainers, mind maps, infographics and guided exercises when work or study interrupts the first pass.
Projects, review and portfolio polish
Build work from a brief, receive practical feedback and improve the final output rather than collecting disconnected software exercises.
Projects that make the course visible in your portfolio
Brand identity starter
Logo direction, colour system, typography choices and a simple brand-use sheet for a fictional Dubai business.
Output: a coherent visual identity
Social campaign set
A coordinated series of feed, story and promotional creative adapted from one campaign concept without looking copied or repetitive.
Output: a practical social-media set
Print or presentation layout
A brochure, menu, company-profile spread or presentation page using hierarchy, grids, imagery and export-ready files.
Output: a polished multi-page layout
From a rough brief to a clear design decision
Learners begin by identifying the audience, message and format. They then organise content, explore visual direction, build the asset in the right tool, check consistency and prepare it for the real use case.
Design foundations, software workflow and portfolio development
The syllabus is structured for learners who need both design judgement and the confidence to create useful digital and print assets.
Module 1: Design thinking, briefs and visual communication

- Turning a business request into a clear, actionable design brief.
Module 2: Typography, colour and layout systems
- Type pairing, readability, spacing, grids and hierarchy.
- Colour relationships, accessibility-minded contrast and brand consistency.
- Using layouts to make social, print and presentation assets easier to scan.
Module 3: Adobe Photoshop for image-led creative

Module 6: Canva and Figma fundamentals in a modern workflow

Use the right tool for the creative problem
Core Adobe tools build production capability. Canva and Figma fundamentals support faster commercial collaboration without replacing design judgement.

AI-assisted design without losing creative control
AI can accelerate moodboard exploration, image expansion, first-pass visual directions and production support. It does not replace a clear brief, typography, hierarchy, composition, colour or critique.
Where current access and licensing allow, learners explore responsible Photoshop and Firefly-style generative workflows, including reference-led ideation, generated-image review, artifact checking, resolution checks and brand consistency.
Responsible creative workflow
Use AI to explore and improve, not to accept output blindly. Review generated assets for quality, provenance, text errors, visual artifacts, rights considerations and production readiness before using them in a design.
Design still starts before the AI prompt.
Design work is strongest when it fits the local business use case
Dubai organisations frequently need clear visual communication across hospitality, retail, real estate, events, clinics, education, professional services and e-commerce. The course uses business-style briefs so a learner practises adapting a message to a real format rather than designing in a vacuum.
Examples can include a restaurant menu refresh, an event-promotion series, a property listing pack, a retail campaign or a company-profile page. These are learning cases, not claims of employment or client work.

Show the work, explain the choices and keep improving it

EduDelphi’s practical review process helps learners move from an exported file to a more coherent presentation of their capability. It does not guarantee a job, freelance income or a client outcome.
