+Fahim S. MVC Posted June 5, 2015 MVC Share Posted June 5, 2015 Rule number 1 - if you want to be a designer of any description, keep away from Comic Sans except in Comics. Sorry, it's not helpful to the question. Guth 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trag3dy Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Try Classroom in a Book for photoshop. It'll get you learning the basics. http://www.adobepress.com/series/series.asp?ser=334674 I should add that photoshop is a very complicated program and will take a long time to master.

trag3dy Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 i know most of the basic things + i can't buy this book in my country so i am looking for a free on line tutorial but it looks like a hopeless case for me Okay then, try this: http://www.deviantart.com/browse/all/resources/tutorials/digiart/ It might take a bit of browsing to find something you're interested in but it's a start. In any case if you know the basics all that's really left to do is use it and learn. It's not something you'll be able to do quickly. People spend thousands of hours developing their knowledge and skills with photoshop. Charisma and President Devil 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Overlord Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 So what exactly is it you are looking for? You've had a reason not to follow the advice offered. The online tutorials, though specific to the picture within the tutorial, is also teaching you general skills, though there's no helping a lack of imagination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have no drive to just dive into the program and use it and learn on your own then there is no hope of you ever becoming a pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charisma Veteran Posted June 5, 2015 Veteran Share Posted June 5, 2015 Perhaps this will get you started: https://www.youtube.com/user/photoshoptrainingch it should list related channels as well so you can look around. It also very much is a case of "just jump in and start playing around with tools" -- you will need to spend lots of time practicing and making your own way with it, but perhaps those videos can give you a starting point. Best of luck The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Overlord Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hovering your mouse over the tools with give you a mouseover flyout, telling you what the tool is No need to worry about the very basic, (unless you're planning on reverse engineering photoshop, and for that, I'll say, best of luck, not to mention the patents that protect it) Pick a tutorial, do the tutorial, it'll take you through layering, vectors and so on, show you how to cut and modify an image, when you finish it, you would have learned some of the features, beginner to advanced (if not, do it again, you'll be surprised on how quick you'll master it) The trick then is, for you to show ingenuity, take what you have learned, and put your own spin on the project you undertake. There is no ultimate master of photoshop, even the best designers out there, occasionally find a feature photoshop has that they didn't realise was there.

Dotdot Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Buy a book on PS, or just do random tutorials until you pick up the majority of tools/skills required. Google is your friend on this one. That or do an online course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
link6155 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I started graphic designing when I was fairly young, back then online tutorials were more scarce. My first works were nothing short of just crap, but I experimented with the various tools in Photoshop and other image editors, that's how I got better. One thing a Photoshop/Media class won't teach you is developing a unique style. While they may teach you what each tool does, they don't really teach you how to get certain effects or how to do certain things. Most of the things people make in these type of classes are mediocre at best. The best way to go about Photoshoping is through various tutorials and trying out the tools for yourself. I suggest trying to memorize keyboard shortcuts as they will be very handy for time consuming projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
