AI Design Certificate Program Online
Summary
At 438 hours across twelve courses, this is one of the longer design certificates in VDCI's catalog, and it starts from no prior design or coding experience. It opens with design principles, color theory, typography, and layout, then builds working command of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign through projects rather than feature walkthroughs. From there it moves into product design: Figma, interface patterns, design systems, user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing.
The last third of the program covers AI image generation across Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, DALL-E, and Google Imagen, including the prompt technique and commercial licensing questions that client work raises, and then AI-assisted application development with databases, authentication, and hosting. Students finish with an eight-piece graphic design portfolio, a documented UX case study, and three deployed web applications.
