Digital Art Tools for Photoshop Certificate

Digital Art Tools for Photoshop Certificate Course

Ever wonder why a picture in a magazine looks flawless or how creative an advertising banner looks? While being a professional designer or photographer may have a lot to do with it, the potential to create amazing images is possible for anyone. The key is to learn how to use the right post-production software, such as Adobe Photoshop. The ability to create multi-layers with unique effects and designs allows the designer to add depth and dimension. It is important to understand what Photoshop is used for as it has multiple functions and can be a very useful tool in not just editing photos, but also creating pamphlets, banners, business cards and flyers.

This course will teach you about the benefits of such a program and also provides instructions on how to use it for both professional and personal needs. Throughout the course, you will see 21 different videos. Each video will take you on a step-by-step journey through the basic features of Photoshop. While there are several obvious features, such as the ‘Layers’ dialogue box, there are additional ways to use each tool to maximise the post effects of a photo.

In this course, you will learn:

  • How to create a new file and adjust a canvas size that is suitable to project needs
  • How to navigate through the software, where to find its tools and understand the layout of the page
  • Learn how to identify Photoshop tools and understand their basic functionalities
  • Learn how to identify the secondary tools, how to select them and what they are used for
  • Learn shortcuts and understand how and when to use them
  • How to use the layer option and understand the layer dialogue box
  • Learn how to use and apply adjustment layers
  • How to add effects and filter to an existing image

Course Benefits:

  • You will learn the basic steps of using Photoshop and can begin to create a design
  • How to become more efficient by using shortcuts and understanding the use of specific tools
  • You will understand how to enhance an image and ways to crop the image to reuse for another project

  • How to use brightness and contrast, exposure and hue and saturation to manipulate a photo
  • How to use rulers to make creative designs such as pamphlets

I really enjoyed this course. It allowed me to go at my own pace, completing modules in my lunch breaks or at home and you can do the modules as many times as you like which suited me.

The modules were explained well, included a clear step by step guide with a video and a spreadsheet to practice on which allowed me to learn the content in different ways. The module content was extremely valuable and taught me how to understand Excel which will lead to saving time in future projects needing Excel.

This course not only includes the very basics but explains some core Excel processes. I recommend this course to all abilities and anyone who needs to use Excel.

Gemma Bytheway

Absolutely loved this course. The information provided is so easy to understand yet so vital to becoming a successful events planner/manager.

I enjoyed this course so much I completed it within 3 days and before finishing wanted to hop on Facebook and open a business. I didn’t by the way… I cannot wait to start putting my knowledge to good use, if you are planning a career in event management then the event management diploma is the way to go!

Not only have I learnt about planning, I now know the basics on starting a business and the dreaded health and safety regulations. So thankful I did this course, well worth it!

Michelle Britnor

This course was very informative and i loved that it could be done at my own pace and not have deadlines to reach.

Even my dog loved the benefits and being my practice dummy!

Nicky Corbett

This course was excellent, detailed and enjoyable. It gave me lots of information and helped me develop my skills and knowledge to assist facilitate learning of students that have special educational needs. It outlined the main conditions that fall into the categories of SEN and a detailed explanation of them.

This course also gave me lots of ideas on how to assist learners and the confidence of how to develop my teaching resources. It also highlighted the relevant legislation covering special educational needs and gave me important information regarding the roles and responsibilities of the SENCO and the teacher in supporting learners.

I now feel more confident that I will be able to support these students better.

Emma Louise Dalton

I have found this course very interesting. Even being a bride myself, you don't actually realise how much actually goes into planning a wedding. Every little detail goes into the course. I can’t wait to start putting my work into action - becoming a Wedding Planner and being part of a couple’s day. Helping them plan their most important day of their lives. It’s been interesting learning how other cultures plan and have their weddings, and how many different themes people choose from. Even to the honeymoon. So many things go into being a wedding planner, it’s not as simple as it seems.

Kelly Ford

I started this course so I could learn about payroll as I am interested in hopefully securing future employment within this area.

The course is brilliant to use. The information available on the individual modules is so easy to read and understand. The activities at the end of the modules refresh what you have just learnt, you can print these also so you are able to make notes for your own personal reference to go back to. You can also log onto your course at home or if your out and about on your phone.

Overall I would recommend this course and I am so pleased I decided to go for this and will look forward to being able to write this onto my CV.
