As a visual designer you may work on projects, company branding, marketing materials, visual presentations, digital media and more. Visual design helps to make things look more appealing and understandable, entice people to buy, help customers remember a product or company name, connect ideas and more. Learning to use the Adobe visual design tools of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign can save you a lot of time and effort getting your designs to the next level.
