The Photoshop learning curve has its struggles, and we are all on that journey at one level or another. This class is for the ones who have gotten past the beginner stage, past the intermediate struggle of learning the workflow and the production vitals….NOW is where the FUN and PROFITS kick in!
At a certain point, you know most of the tools, and now it’s time to play a bit and take your creativity up a notch. There is so much to be explored and created….Photoshop has LEVELS of creative plateaus that we have not even touched! (profit centers and products that our clients are waiting to see!)
With an intense focus on Efficiency, we will create an organizational space to be productive and creative without getting bogged down by mechanics. Flexibility and creativity go hand in hand when we design, so we will learn ways to work on files that allow us the freedom to create with all our options open. Of course, once you create something fabulous, selling it over and over is the key to turning it into profits. So that brings us to Automation, which is, of course, a vital element in profitability and time management. We will get into some advanced actions and speedy templates and techniques that will make your Photoshop time seriously worth it!
