Digital Fashion Level 1
Overview
Digital Fashion Level 1 introduces you to the software fashion designers use every day to bring their ideas to life on screen. Over 30 hours of hands on training at CIS College, Lebanon’s largest private vocational college, you will learn to use Adobe Photoshop to sketch, render, and finish fashion figurines the way working designers do, starting from basic shapes and finishing with a complete styled collage.
The course follows a practical, day by day structure. You will move from tool basics to full figure rendering, fabric representation, prints, and accessories, building a real portfolio piece along the way. It is the first step toward Digital Fashion Level 2, where you take these designs further using Adobe Illustrator.
