Digital Art Tools for Photoshop Certification

Digital Art Tools for Photoshop Certification

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 maximize 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
  • The importance of colors and how they can be adjusted and enhanced using the different color options such as color balance
  • 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
  • Design elements that enhance a creative project

If your looking for a refresher or new career then this is a Fantastic site for courses. This is the second course I’ve done on this site and there very in depth and I’ve learnt so much. Very pleased. Would highly recommend.

Will be looking to do more courses in the future. Not only have I achieved two diplomas but I’ve got new services to offer in my salon for all my clients. Great time of year to have completed with christmas around the corner, my salons never been so busy and even taken bookings for 2017 already.

Would recommend to all!

I ordered the wedding planner course as I am off work and wanted to make use of my time. This course is extremely well set out and easy to follow. The course is broken down into easy to manage modules covering absolutely everything you need to know about being a wedding planner. You can complete these modules at your own pace and you get the chance to review the modules you have completed at any time you wish. The modules take you through the step by step process of planning a wedding including all the pit falls. I am enjoying this course and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of going into this area of work. The course gives you some very handy tips on things that you may well not have thought about. So what are you waiting for, sign up for an excellent course at a more than reasonable price.

An enjoyable and informative course, with clear, digestible amounts of information. The worksheets help with understanding and remembering everything, and the whole course is well presented and easy to follow.

Being an online course it allowed me to work at my own pace, and with simple instructions to navigate through the modules, back tracking and repeating ones if I felt I needed too. I was also able to download and print off documents of information for my own files, so if I need to refer back to them I can.

I’d rate it as 10/10, and am looking at the next Level already!
