Hi James J: I see no impediment to a blind person creating graphics. Just because they are only seen by people with sight doesn't and shouldn't mean they can't be created. A blind person can have a graphical work described to them and, as we all do, interpret it in their own way.
Technically, though, Marvin: if you are going to be marked on Photoshop technical skills such as cropping and masking then you would be at an obvious disadvantage by not having an aid, so I'm not sure about the lecturer's reasoning. The impediment here is the software, rather than blindness. Is there graphical software available that does work with a screenreader and allows you to meet the requirements of the course ?
