Professional Certificate in Creative Graphic Designing

About this course

The Professional Certificate in Creative Graphic Designing is run by the IIT Professional Development Unit in Colombo. It meets on Saturday mornings from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm and combines 64 contact hours of on-campus lab demonstrations with 40 hours of independent study. The syllabus moves from raster graphics and pixel manipulation to Adobe Photoshop (selections, layers, masks, retouching and web optimisation), then vector graphics and Adobe Illustrator (logo creation, the pen tool, type and artboard management). IIT lists marketing executives, web and UI designers, photographers, editors and students awaiting O/L or A/L results as its target audience. No formal entry requirement is published, and a certificate is awarded on completion.
