Hi Designers, Webmasters & Marketers
Have you ever been let down by a graphic designer or paid a small fortune for graphics? If so then then youre not alone. Theres nothing more frustrating than waiting for designs especially if youre running an on line business.
In 2003 I worked on a web project with an superb graphic designer which showed me a few cool tricks & shortcuts which I still use now. What Ive learned since are skills necessary to do almost any web graphics task. Nowadays I only send large complex jobs to outsourcers & do everything else myself. So no more delays, no more sending stuff back for adjustments no more fat fees.
Make Graphics Quicker Than Writing an Email
So, whether you need to make a quick change to some artwork or design something from scratch, I would like to show you the foundation skills you need to get the job done. In fact youll find that making graphics is quicker than writing an email an outsourcer. Firstly though, let me debunk a few common myths
Myth #1 - "Photoshops Expensive"
NopeYou can get the latest CC version is just $8 per month & low cost versions if you attend full time education..You can also buy older versions like Photoshop CS2 for approx $50 on Ebay. Photoshop versions CS2 and above have the same core functionality. So you dont need to take out a second mortgage to get going.
Myth #2 - "Photoshop is difficult"
Not TrueWhilst all the functions & menus may look daunting initially, they are in fact extremely simple, logical & consistent from version to version the trick is knowing which tools to use for each task & shortcuts that make tasks easier.
Myth #3 - "It Takes Years to Learn"
FalseThats what some highly paid designers may want you to think. In reality you can learn the key elements in about 2 hours & the pro tricks in about an hour. Its from this foundation knowledge you can truly become an expert!

"Best & Most Usable Whirlwind Tour"
"Ive used Photoshop off and on since version 4 (1990s) for both offline and online graphics and this is the best and most usable "whirlwind" tour Ive ever seen completely "actionable" if people will simply do it. What you teach in half a day took me months of trial and error to learn would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to use Photoshop for online graphics."
"This is the training I have been in need of"
"I can barely tell you without going on to long about how much I have learned in each one of these bite sized videos of which I just absolutely love, because this allows me to view as few or as many as I can, then come back to them and learn the balance of the lessons. This is the training I have been in need of for so long. I just love the videos and the Trainer. He moves through PS so well and I am able to understand everything he has shown me (us).
Thank you, thank you so very much, you are a life saver and business saver for working class people and people like me, on disability and short on income. I am going to have to sign up as an affiliate for this one, it is awesome!"
