Brush up on photoshop

One of the biggest complaints I often hear students mention is that they aren’t trained enough on the software. It is a valid complaint. Admittedly striking the balance in the classroom between teaching how to design and teaching how to use software is a difficult task, if we only taught the software (and there is an enormous amount to cover there), there would be no design taught. I often tell students that they need to just spend the time on their own trying every filter in photoshop, see what it does, and just play around with it, many don’t. Thankfully we have the internet. Tutorials We Heart is a great resource full of photoshop tutorials explaining everything from how to make a meteor shower to making type glow. It is a wonderful resource for those who want to brush up on their photoshop chops.
