Join me and a dream team of fellow Photoshop instructors for 5 days of Photoshop fun—for FREE! Grab your pass here, then mark your calendar for April 13-17th and get ready for a good time!
I’ll be teaching two courses:
Layer Up! Chances are you’ve never heard layers explained quite like this before! Layers are the bread and butter of Photoshop and understanding and working with them is essential. Their powerful features can feel overwhelming to newcomers (and even to some who’ve been around awhile). Starting with the most basic of basics, this course will take you from zero to editing adjustment layers and clipping masks in no time!
Next Level Type: Get ready to discover a treasure trove of cool things you never knew you never knew—about working with type in Photoshop! From dingbats and ligatures to clipping masks and layer effects, you’ll come away with inspiration and skills you can put to use right away.
I’m pretty excited about the things we’ll be making, a fun layered image (where we’ll make ice-cream sprinkles—from SCRATCH!) and some gorgeous pieces of type design. Don’t miss it!
