Original subtitles

1

Each video lesson in this course

2

explains a certain topic combining

3

multiple elements and features and even

4

best practices that professional

5

creatives would use in their work. It is

6

up to you how quickly you want to go

7

through these videos but the aim is to

8

be able to practice everything you've

9

learned at your own pace. That is why I

10

carefully designed exercise files for each

11

lesson that you can download and

12

practice or follow along the videos with.

13

I also created PDF notes with

14

illustrations for each lesson that you

15

can print out or keep on your mobile

16

devices for future reference. It is

17

recommended to have the latest Creative

18

Cloud version of Photoshop installed on

19

your computer to make the most of this

20

training as there will be quite a lot of

21

features mentioned only available in

22

this version. If you don't have an active

23

CC subscription I would suggest you

24

download the free 30-day trial of the

25

product from Adobe's website. This should

26

give you enough time to study and

27

practice by going through this course.

28

Studying from this course also prepares

29

you to get certified by Adobe as an

30

Associate in Visual Communication using

31

Adobe Photoshop. This is an

32

internationally accepted certification

33

allowing you to demonstrate proficiency

34

in using this product. Becoming a

35

certified associate you can stand apart

36

from your peers, boost your confidence

37

and expand your career opportunities. At

38

the end of this course I will explain

39

how to get certified in great detail as

40

my aim is to get you ready to pass this

41

exam after finishing this course. I also

42

included an ACA exam preparation guide

43

that you can download and rehearse with.

44

Apart from getting a proof of your

45

technical skills it is important to be

46

able to show your work created in

47

Photoshop to your potential clients or

48

employers. I also explain all the best

49

ways to create a killer creative

50

portfolio with which you will be able to

51

impress anyone. Watching the videos on

52

your own without anyone checking your

53

progress might make you doubt yourself

54

whether you really understood all the

55

techniques and concepts mentioned. To

56

help you really acquire all the skills

57

from this course I included quizzes for

58

each chapter and these quizzes should

59

help you to check whether you fully

60

understood the key features and

61

techniques of each topic. For the theme

62

of this course I chose the theme of

63

adventure, exploration and discovery as

64

that is how learning this application

65

will feel like. I'm hoping to get you

66

excited about the creative possibilities

67

Photoshop provides and inspire you along

68

the way to make studying fun and

69

enjoyable. Working with this product is

70

my passion and I poured all my love

71

for it into this course. But now it is

72

time to embark on this adventure and be

73

prepared to be blown away by the things

74

you will be able to do with Adobe Photoshop.
