The basics

What is graphic design?

Graphic design is the craft of using type, colour, images and layout to communicate clearly: a logo, a poster, a brochure, an Instagram campaign, a product label.

Video editing takes the same ideas into motion: cutting footage, adding text, music and effects, and shaping reels, ads and YouTube videos. Today most brands want both, which is why Pashium offers a combined 5-month program.

Do I need my own laptop?

No. In classroom batches you can practise on your own laptop or on the institute's computers.

What happens if I miss a class?

We can arrange a revision class, or you can attend the same topic in another batch. You also get recordings of the lectures.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes. You receive a Certificate of Completion from Pashium Design School when you finish the course.

Do you help with jobs after the course?

Yes. We provide interview and job support, including help with your CV and portfolio. No institute can guarantee you a job, so the strength of your portfolio still matters most.

Where is Pashium located?

Pashium is at Office 402, 6th Floor, Shivank Building, Apte Road, opposite Venus Traders, off FC Road, Deccan Gymkhana, Pune 411004.

Is graphic design a good career?

It can be, if you enjoy visual problem-solving and keep improving. Businesses across many industries need design work, and you can work in a company, at an agency or as a freelancer. Starting pay can be modest, and growth depends on the quality of your portfolio.

Do I need to know drawing to learn graphic design?

No. Drawing can help, but graphic design relies more on layout, typography, colour and clear thinking, all of which can be learned.

What is the difference between Photoshop and Illustrator?

Photoshop is mainly for editing photos and other pixel-based images. Illustrator is for vector artwork such as logos and icons, which can be scaled to any size without losing quality.

What are the main types of graphic design?

Common types include brand identity, marketing and advertising, social media, print and publication, packaging, UI and web design, and motion graphics.

Can I work as a freelancer after this course?

You can start taking small projects once you have strong samples to show. Most beginners build up gradually, so a job or smaller local clients can be a practical first step.

Will AI replace graphic designers?

AI tools can speed up parts of the work, such as generating ideas and variations. Clients still need someone who understands the brief, makes good decisions and can finish the work properly, so design fundamentals remain valuable.
