Visual identity that works.
Trivandrum (Kazhakootam) · Kadakkal · Online — Unlearn Academy
Graphic design is the visual language of every business. Akash Asokan, Brand Designer with 7+ years of experience across identity, advertising, and digital design, leads this programme alongside Afsana, in-house Graphic Designer at Adsomia. L1 is built around two tools — Photoshop and Illustrator — taught from scratch over 16 weeks with AI tools woven throughout. Graduates leave with 6 portfolio-grade projects: composites, illustrations, a logo, a brand identity system, and a final integrated piece. AI design tools (MidJourney, Adobe Firefly, Recraft) are taught as professional accelerators, not shortcuts.
The graphic design course is taught at Unlearn Academy's campuses in Kazhakootam (Trivandrum) and Kadakkal (Kollam district), with hybrid and online options available for students across Kerala.
Skills you'll gain
The graphic design course at Unlearn Academy is for anyone who wants to build a professional design practice — whether you are starting from zero or already have some visual interest and want to turn it into a career. We train complete beginners, students from fine arts or commerce backgrounds, working professionals switching to creative roles, and entrepreneurs who want to handle their own brand design. Students from across Kerala join our Trivandrum and Kadakkal campuses. No prior software experience is required — you will learn Illustrator and Photoshop from the ground up.
