Graphic Design & UI/UX Career Roadmap
Start with Adobe Illustrator, then branch into full Graphic Design (with AI tools) or Graphic Design & Motion Graphics. UI/UX Design is a distinct, separate skillset for product/tech roles.
How to read this roadmap: Illustrator is the entry point for the graphic design branch (left), leading to either Graphic Design or Graphic Design & Motion Graphics. UI/UX Design (right) is a separate track — start there directly if your goal is product/tech design roles, not print/branding design.

Frequently asked questions
Is UI/UX Design part of the graphic design path?
No — UI/UX Design is a distinct skillset for product/tech roles (Figma, user research, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing) and does not require Illustrator or Graphic Design first.
Should I choose Graphic Design or Graphic Design & Motion Graphics?
Graphic Design focuses on AI-augmented design tools (Firefly, Midjourney, Canva Magic) plus packaging. Graphic Design & Motion Graphics adds motion graphics skills on top of the full Adobe CC suite.
Do I need Illustrator before Graphic Design?
It is the recommended entry — Illustrator builds vector/logo fundamentals that both Graphic Design and Graphic Design & Motion Graphics build on.
What tools does the UI/UX Design course cover?
Figma, user research methods, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing — ending in a portfolio suited to product/tech job applications.
Can I do UI/UX Design and Graphic Design together?
Yes, they are complementary but separate skillsets — many students combine both for broader design career options.
