Why is this course for me?
Whether you are a beginner or have some Photoshop skills, this course will show you some of the weird and wonderful things you can achieve! Youll create eye-catching effects without needing in-depth knowledge, but youll build your skills as you go. We take a hands-on approach so that you learn by doing after watching techniques demonstrated using a data projector. There are helpful resources and a knowledgeable tutor to support you, and one-to-one guidance is given.
The college uses Adobe Photoshop CC running on Microsoft Windows PCs. This course is suitable for Mac users since Photoshop is very similar on Macs. Please note that Photoshop Elements is a different product and, although there are similarities, you will need to do some extra work at home to translate between the two.
How will my learning be enhanced?
You will be taught by a tutor who will support you and help you get the most out of your experience on the course.
