Solutions 1313 runs a graphic designing course in Chandigarh from ₹25,000, at SCO 60-62, 2nd Floor, Sector 17-C. You learn Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Canva, Figma and AI tools including Midjourney and Adobe Firefly — and you design for real clients, because we are a working digital agency with 3,450+ clients since 2008, not only a training institute.
Graphic designing course fees in Chandigarh
Most institutes here will not give you a figure until you visit. Here are ours.
| Programme | Duration | What it covers | Fee |
| Graphic Design — Foundation | 3 months | Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva, typography, colour, social media creatives, logo basics | ₹25,000 |
| Graphic Design — Professional | 6 months | Everything above + InDesign, branding systems, print production, AI tools, 1-month internship | ₹35,000 |
| Design + Digital Marketing | 8 months | Full graphic design + the digital marketing programme — the combination employers hire fastest | ₹35,000 |
All fees can be paid in EMI instalments. For context, design course fees in Chandigarh generally range from ₹20,000 to ₹60,000 for a 3 to 6-month programme — the issue is not the range, it is that you cannot usually find out where an institute sits before sitting through a sales conversation. Ask for the fee in writing before you travel anywhere, including here.
Which one should you take? For a design job, the 6-month Professional programme — InDesign, print production and a real internship are what separate a hireable designer from someone who knows Photoshop. To be hired fastest in Chandigarh specifically, take the Design + Digital Marketing combination: agencies here consistently prefer a designer who also understands campaigns, and that combination is genuinely rare locally.
What you will learn?
| Module | What it covers |
| Design fundamentals | Layout, hierarchy, alignment, balance, white space. The rules that separate a designed piece from a decorated one. |
| Typography | Type anatomy, pairing, scale, spacing, readability. Where most beginner work falls apart first. |
| Colour theory in practice | Colour systems, contrast, accessibility, palettes that survive print and screen, brand colour discipline. |
| Adobe Photoshop | Retouching, masking, compositing, product images, export settings for web and print. |
| Adobe Illustrator | Vectors, pen tool, logo construction, icon sets, scalable artwork. |
| Adobe InDesign | Multi-page layout — brochures, catalogues, company profiles, menus. Still the standard for print work. |
| Canva at professional level | Brand kits, templates and team workflows. Clients use Canva, so you must be able to hand over files they can edit. |
| Logo and brand identity | Research, concept, construction, variants, brand guidelines document. You build a complete identity, not just a mark. |
| Social media creatives | Post and story formats, ad creatives, carousels, thumbnails. Volume production with brand consistency. |
| Print production | Bleed, trim, CMYK vs RGB, resolution, file preparation, working with a local press. Real jobs still go to print in Mohali. |
| UI basics and Figma | Screen layout, components, grids, design handoff. The bridge to UI/UX work, which pays more than print. |
| AI in the design workflow | Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Canva AI and generative fill for ideation and production — plus the licensing and originality rules that matter commercially. |
| Portfolio building | Case-study presentation, not just a folder of images. How to show the problem, the thinking and the result. |
| Live client project | Real design work for a Solutions 1313 client under supervision, delivered to a real deadline. |
The 7 types of graphic design — and which ones pay in Chandigarh
The standard list is visual identity, marketing and advertising, user interface, publication and print, packaging, motion graphics, and environmental or signage design.
Four of them carry the paid work here. Marketing and advertising design is the steadiest. Visual identity — logos and brand systems — pays well per project but arrives less often. Print and publication is quietly underrated: brochures, company profiles, packaging and signage are constant demand in Chandigarh, and many digital-only designers cannot prepare a press-ready file. UI design pays the most of the four, which is where we point students who want to earn more.
Motion graphics and packaging exist here but thinly. We teach awareness of them rather than pretending the local market is larger than it is.
Can AI replace designers?
Google shows this as a top question on design course searches in Chandigarh. It deserves a straight answer.
Part of the work is already gone. Stock photography, background removal, simple social templates and first-draft variations are generated in seconds now. If your plan was to earn a living resizing images, that plan has expired.
What has not gone: understanding a client brief, building a brand system that holds together across fifty touchpoints, knowing when something is subtly wrong, and taking responsibility when a file goes to print. AI produces plausible output, not correct output, and somebody has to be accountable for the difference.
So we teach Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Canva AI and generative fill as part of the workflow, alongside the licensing and originality rules that matter when work is commercial. The goal is that you direct the tool instead of competing with it.
Why a design studio runs this course?
We have produced client identity, packaging and campaign work since 2008. The training opened because the designers we interviewed could make something attractive but could not build a brand that held together across a website, a shopfront and fifty social posts.
You work on live client briefs here, with the revisions that come with them.
Read the full story, our team, and how placement works
We turn away 4 out of every 10 applicants
Most institutes take your fee and start the class. We do it in three steps, and we say no to people.
| Step | What happens |
| 1. Counselling | We sit with you and go through your background, what you want from the course, how much time you can realistically commit and what career you are aiming at. This is a conversation, not a sales pitch |
| 2. Free demo class | You attend a real class with a real batch, taken by Damanpreet Kaur. You see the teaching, the batch size and the actual project work before paying anything |
| 3. Admission decision | If we believe we can train you and place you, we offer admission. If we do not, we tell you honestly and decline — and we explain what would actually suit you better |
Roughly four out of ten applicants are declined. After counselling and a demo class it becomes fairly clear whether someone will get value from the programme. If we can see that the money would be wasted, saying so is the only honest thing to do — and we point them toward something that fits better instead.
That screening is exactly why we can stand behind our placement record. An institute that admits everybody and then advertises a 100% guarantee is doing the arithmetic backwards.
You work on real client projects — nothing is a time-pass exercise
We are not only an institute. We are a working company with an institute inside it. 55 in-house staff, 3,450+ client projects since 2008, offices in Mohali, Chandigarh, Patiala, Gurugram and Dubai.
Every student trains on the same live work our team delivers to paying clients:
- Live client branding work — logos, colour systems and brand guidelines for businesses that are actually paying for them
- Social media creatives that get published — the same posts, ads and campaign visuals our team ships each week
- Print and marketing collateral — brochures, standees, packaging and stationery that goes to press
- Website and UI graphics — banners, icons and page assets handed to our developers and built into live sites
Nobody’s time gets wasted here. No dummy assignments, no practice websites nobody will ever visit. You finish with a portfolio of real work — which is exactly what an employer asks to see, and exactly what those 2015 interview candidates did not have.
Who teaches you?

Frequently Asked Questions – Graphic Designing Course in Chandigarh
What are graphic designing course fees in Chandigarh?
At Solutions 1313 it is ₹25,000 for the 3-month Foundation programme and ₹35,000 for the 6-month Professional programme with a one-month internship. There is also an 8-month Design + Digital Marketing combination at ₹35,000. EMI is available on all three. Across Chandigarh, design institute fees for a 3 to 6-month course generally run ₹20,000 to ₹60,000, but very few publish a number. Ask for the fee in writing before you visit anywhere.
Which is the best graphic designing course in Chandigarh?
For employability in Chandigarh, the 6-month Professional programme is the right default — it adds InDesign, print production and a real internship on top of Photoshop and Illustrator. If you know you want digital rather than print, the 8-month Design + Digital Marketing combination gets hired fastest here, because Sector 34 and Sector 17 agencies consistently want a designer who understands campaigns. A pure software course teaching only Photoshop is the weakest option and usually the cheapest for a reason.
What are the 7 types of graphic design?
Visual identity and branding, marketing and advertising design, user interface design, publication and print design, packaging design, motion graphics, and environmental or signage design. In Chandigarh, the first four carry almost all the paid work. UI design pays the most of them; print and publication is the most underrated because so many digital-only designers cannot prepare a press-ready file.
Can AI replace graphic designers?
Google shows this exact question on this search, and the honest answer is that it has already replaced part of the work. Stock imagery, background removal, simple social templates and first-draft variations now take seconds. What it has not replaced is understanding a client brief, building a brand system that holds together across fifty touchpoints, judging when something is subtly wrong, and being accountable when a file goes to print incorrectly. AI produces plausible output, not correct output. We teach Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Canva AI and generative fill inside the workflow, with the licensing rules that matter commercially, so you direct the tool rather than compete with it.
What is the salary of a graphic designer in Chandigarh?
Junior graphic designers in Chandigarh typically start around ₹12,000–₹20,000 a month. It rises meaningfully once you can also do UI work or run a full brand system, and freelance or remote work pays better than local studio work. The fastest route to a higher starting figure here is combining design with digital marketing, which is why we offer that as a single programme. Anyone promising a fresher a lakh a month is selling something.
Do I need to be good at drawing?
No. Graphic design is about arranging information clearly, not illustration, and plenty of strong designers cannot draw. What you do need is patience with detail — noticing that something is two pixels out is more of the job than sketching.
Which software will I learn during the graphic designing course in Chandigarh?
Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign as the core, Canva at professional level because clients use it and need editable handover files, Figma for UI basics, and AI tools including Midjourney and Adobe Firefly. Licensed software is available at the centre.
Do you teach print design or only digital?
Both. Print is unfashionable in course marketing but not in Chandigarh — brochures, company profiles, packaging and signage are steady paid work here. You will learn bleed, CMYK, resolution and press file preparation properly.
Will I get a portfolio out of the graphic designing course in Chandigarh?
Yes, and it is the point. The course ends with real design work for a Solutions 1313 client, presented as a case study rather than a folder of images. In every design hire we have made, the portfolio decided it — not the certificate.
Do you have a centre in Chandigarh?
Yes — SCO 60-62, 2nd Floor, Sector 17-C, Chandigarh, with our head office in Mohali at SCO 54, Sector 82, JLPL Industrial Area. You can attend either or switch between them.
Can I do the graphic designing course in Chandigarh alongside college or a job?
Yes. You pick your own 2-hour slot between 9 AM and 9 PM, seven days a week, and can move between the Chandigarh centre, the Mohali centre and online.
Is there a free demo class for graphic designing course in Chandigarh?
Yes. Counselling first, then a free demo class, then you decide. No obligation to join.
Free consultation — no obligation.
