More than design: the value of getting certified in Adobe Photoshop

In sectors such as advertising, graphic design, fashion, or illustration, mastering a tool as well known as Adobe Photoshop has become an essential requirement for all those who want to develop their career.

Adobe Photoshop, as the industry standard in image editing, continues to be one of the most widely used programs worldwide and in this sense, having a certification that certifies mastery of this application can open many doors for students who are starting out in the world of work and can become a key differentiating element when it comes to accessing internships, first jobs or professional collaborations.

In the case of UDIT FPS, students who successfully complete the Higher Degree in 3D Animation, Games and Interactive Environments, receive the Adobe Photoshop Professional - Visual Design certification , which endorses the students' knowledge in five key areas:

Fundamentals of professional design (colour theory, composition, formats, rights of use).
Technical project setup and workspace optimisation.
Advanced document organisation and management through layers, masks and smart objects.
Creation and modification of visual elements using retouching tools, typography and effects.
Export for digital media, print or animation.

This recognition guarantees that the professional not only understands the software, but is able to apply it in real contexts design and visual production

In addition, those who obtain this certification can later complement their profile with other credentials from the Adobe ecosystem, such as Illustrator or InDesign, thus gaining access to the additional recognition "Adobe Certified Professional in Visual Design", a specialisation that highlights the value of transversal knowledge in graphic design.

Training programmes such as the Higher Degree in 3D Animation, Games and Interactive Environments, integrate skills that not only enable students to create, but also to demonstrate their ability to the market.

Trend, passing fad or structural change: how to tell them apart before designing or communicating

31 July 2026

A passing fad attracts attention quickly, but lacks depth and has low barriers to exit. A trend shows continuity, growing adoption and observable behavioural changes. A structural change alters infrastructure, incentives, norms or capabilities. To distinguish between them, it is not enough simply to measure virality: one must gather evidence and understand what underpins the change.

Sensory design: how sound, texture, temperature and movement transform an experience

31 July 2026

Sensory design examines how an experience is shaped by cues that are not solely visual. Sound can provide orientation; texture conveys material and function; temperature influences comfort; and movement explains responses and changes. Designing these cues requires consistency, control and user testing – not simply adding stimuli for decorative purposes.

How to use AI to study without stopping yourself from thinking: five checks to carry out before accepting an answer

24 July 2026

Using artificial intelligence to study can help you understand, practise and revise, but first you must check whether it is permitted, make an initial effort yourself, decide what role it will play, verify its answers and retain ownership of the process. Citing the tool does not replace the need for permission, nor does it automatically make its content a reliable source.

How to work as a team on creative and tech projects without ending up doing everything yourself

24 July 2026

Working well as a team on creative and technological projects requires more than simply dividing up tasks. Before starting, the group needs to agree on the end result, who is responsible for what, who makes each decision, where files are stored, how the work is reviewed and what to do if the project hits a dead end. Making the process transparent prevents duplication of effort, conflicts and last-minute bailouts.
