About this title

From the Author:

I absolutely LOVE Adobe Photoshop! Over the past 20 years in various industries and classrooms, (and careers!) I've learned a lot about Photoshop and how to teach it well! That experience and love for the creative apps is what we worked so hard to get into the books.What I love most about our books are that they not only cover the applications well- but they also give a ton of information to help you in your design career by talking about the creative and soft skills you need in the industry. Knowing how to use Photoshop is one thing- but learning how to think creatively, see like an artist, and work in creative fields is another! This book doesn't just teach Photoshop- it teaches how to prep for a career using Photoshop to create beautiful, communicative works that dazzle your clients and their customers.Dig in!
