This one-day creative course introduces you to Photoshop from a true graphic designer’s point of view. In a small group and relaxed studio atmosphere, you’ll explore how to turn a concept into a polished visual layout, from your first blank canvas to a final mock-up ready to present. Together, we’ll walk through the full design process: choosing the right resolution and color mode, structuring files efficiently, and combining type, textures, and logos into cohesive layouts. You’ll discover how to use adjustment layers, masks, and blending modes to add depth, contrast, and character to your designs. By the end of the day, you’ll have a professional-quality project you can proudly add to your portfolio, whether it’s a poster, web banner, or packaging design. This course is perfect for aspiring designers, photographers expanding their skill set, and anyone ready to make their creative ideas shine. Throughout the day, you’ll dive deep into Photoshop’s creative and professional tools - all from a designer’s perspective. You’ll start with a complete overview of the software, learning how to navigate layers, channels, and blending options while understanding how resolution and file types impact your work. From there, you’ll explore how to combine type, imagery, and textures into balanced layouts that look great both on screen and in print. You’ll work hands-on with vectors and raster images, understand RGB vs CMYK, and practice preparing files for different outputs from social media graphics to high-quality PDFs for print. You’ll also discover the power of adjustment layers, layer masks, and smart filters, and learn how to organize your projects with smart objects, linked layers, and guides for a clean, efficient workflow. By the end, you’ll feel confident building complete designs from concept to final export.
