This shorter course is designed specifically to introduce students to the key concepts and basic tools used in Adobe Photoshop. Topics include image resolution, using layers, modifying and transforming selections, image editing and adjustments using layers and filters, and output parameters and protocol for web, devices and print. In-class course is held in OCAD U’s computer lab using the latest software. For online Adobe classes, students are responsible for purchasing their own software for class. Trial versions of the software are sometimes available on the company website, but at this time there are no discounts available for Continuing Studies students.

The GD program is solid. After 3rd year you'll be more challenged and start to understand the industry -- at least that's when it all started to click for me. Profs are a mix of industry people who know what they're doing and academics. Be prepared to learn the software on your own -- OCAD is teaching theories and principles so that you'll be set as a strong designer as technology changes. Your portfolio is really important -- start thinking about that right away and how your work can fit into it. A simple website with your work will get you in the door for internships coops and jobs, then you have to have the right "fit" in terms of personality and ambitions to get that first job on your on.

The location and the people are honestly probably my favourite things about OCAD's GD program. Campus in downtown TO is close to Art Gallery of Ontario, design firms, cultural hubs, great restaurants and plenty more. If you're not from Toronto and are maybe from a small town in Canada, this will be a very cool cultural experience with loads of job opportunities.

Happy with my decision to come to OCAD and do the Graphic Design Program. Just work hard and network and you will be able to create opportunities for yourself.

The instructors in industrial design, from CNC to woodworking, are not adequatley trained. Former students get hired as lead technicians who can't service machines and this is what you get. I would have chosen Humber or Centennial if I could go back.
