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

I loved every aspect of this online digital marketing course. The modules were well constructed and offered up a wealth of information on the subject.

I found myself learning many new things, such as the best practices for implementing an online marketing campaign, whether through social media, email marketing, or otherwise.

Passing this course has gone a long way to helping me with my online business routine.

I sought to improve my efforts at marketing my work and now, thanks to New Skills Academy, I’ve been able to. Thank you so much to New Skills Academy for this amazing course.

This is an absolutely brilliant course, I really enjoyed it and it consists of very detailed information. The test at the end was slightly tricky so it’s important to pay attention to all aspects of the course content. I would highly recommend this course to anyone thinking of becoming a wedding planner, with an interest in this topic or even to anyone who is getting married as there’s a lot of information which could be found useful and certain things that give you good ideas. I loved this course and I’m sad it’s over. It was definitely brilliant from start to finish and is great value for money!

Really interesting and a good starting point for increasing my understanding and knowledge. Easy to access at any time, modules were nice and short so good bursts of information and easy to understand. I feel that I have gained knowledge that I can take forward within my current profession and apply my knowledge to get the best possible results for my organisation in all forms of media. Would recommend this course for anyone looking to start off in this career and looking to gain solid background information to take you forward. You have the flexibility to learn in your own time and take it at your own pace which is great when you are already working full time.

Having just completed the Dyslexia Diploma in a few days I can honestly say I now have a much better knowledge of the condition and it gave me so much detail and information to learn in order to use in my teaching job. Very clear and easy to follow with great assessments at the end of each module. Also the multiple choice exam covered all of the important points I had learnt. Highly recommend this diploma. The fact I could study this online in my own time was a huge positive. I look forward to further study more diplomas related.

I started the HR Management Diploma Level 2 – CPD Certified & IVCAS Accredited in November 2016, and I can say hand on heart it has been the best experience of my life.

Everything I have learnt here, every lesson, has been practical and useful, with real skills that are relevant to the real world, instead of hours of boring theory and history of the subject. Straight away we were learning real web design.

This course has been incredibly helpful and I have learnt far more than I could have ever imagined and I have only completed 4 of the 20 modules.
