Creating Posters with Photoshop workshop series

Photoshop POSTER Series (3 parts)

Adobe Photoshop is used for many purposes: digital drawing, photo editing, and graphic designing. Because of its multitasking, many users get confused by its large number of tools. To avoid the confusion, it is important to know that for each purpose, the user only touches upon some of Photoshop’s features.

For this particular workshop series, we will use Photoshop as a Graphic designing tool, or to be more specific poster design. Thus, the series is designed to help beginners to:

  • Understand basic rules of creating a Poster
  • Utilize Adobe Photoshop CS6 tools to create a Poster

At the end of the 3 workshops, the user should know who to design a complete Poster using Photoshop. Click the date/time links to register.
