Graphic Software

Adobe Creative Cloud: online subscription - Adobe is available via online as a download. Adobe ONLY accepts subscriptions via a major credit card or PayPal account for payment. Please ensure you are able to arrange purchase of the software. It is a requirement, we cannot bypass their system.

***IF the student currently has a Windows PC with enough RAM and system resources to allow the software to run then I wouldn't suggest she purchase a new MACBOOK PRO unless she has definite plans to enter the program. We do have some students who elect to use PC's from time to time. See Windows PC requirements below.

Processor: Intel, AMD or ARM processor with 64-bit support
Operating system: Windows 10 (64-bit) version 1903 and later

With regards to classes, Adobe Photoshop 1 (GDTC1105) and/or Adobe Illustrator 1 (GDTC1135) would be good choices to get a taste for the program and the profession.
