Become a graphic, UI and UX designer
You have redesigned an app in your head while using it, and been irritated that nobody asked you.
Proof in 30 seconds
624 hours covering brand and graphic design, UI, UX, web and motion, on Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, XD, Figma, After Effects and Premiere Pro, with generative AI built into the workflow. The payoff is range: more kinds of design job you can apply for.

Is this you?
Tap whichever of these already sounds like you — there's no right answer.
What you'll make
Grounded in this course's real modules and software — not a placement promise.
Month 1
Typographic and layout work that already looks professional — grid, hierarchy and colour, which is most of the visible gap between amateur and paid design.
Month 3
A complete brand identity: logo system, palette, type scale and application across print and screen, built in Illustrator and InDesign.
Month 6
A researched, wireframed and prototyped app or site in Figma, with a usability pass done on real people rather than assumed.
Month 12
A multi-channel campaign with motion work in After Effects, plus a portfolio site you designed yourself — four to six months before the course even ends.
See it, don't just read about it
Slide one screen from a grey wireframe to a finished interface: same structure, very different craft.

Before you ask
The questions we hear most about this course, answered plainly.
MAAC Whitefield opens in October 2026 and does not yet have a placement record of its own — we won't pretend otherwise. What we offer is placement assistance once you graduate, not a guarantee, alongside a curriculum built around real, currently-hired roles.
Roles this course targets: Graphic Designer, UI Designer, UX Designer, Web Designer.
Brand-wide, MAAC India, brand-wide has trained 300,000+ students over 25 years — figures for the network, not a claim about this centre.
AI has changed these tools, not removed the need for people who understand story, composition, timing and craft — this curriculum teaches those fundamentals alongside the current AI-assisted tools of the trade, so graduates direct the tools instead of being replaced by them.
Most of this catalogue is a software and production craft, not a drawing exam — modelling, compositing, editing, level design and design tools are all taught from first principles. Where a course does lean on drawing (character design, storyboarding), it starts from basic shapes and construction, not raw talent.
