Photoshop Tutorials

Introduction

Photoshop is an industry-standard tool for photo editing, graphic design, and digital artwork. The software’s layer-based editing system enables students to create complex compositions because it is easier to rework and adjust specific parts of the media product without affecting the whole project. Third-party plugins and brushes are also available to help students enhance their final products and make sure they are fit for purpose.

Learning to use Photoshop will prepare students for real-world professional environments, especially in fields like advertising, design, and media production. Our tutorials will help you develop your technical proficiency while exploring the codes and conventions of media texts.

Print Products

The decline of physical sales of newspapers and magazines is well documented, but independent publishers continue to compete with the established brands to target audiences who appreciate quality and the professional feel of print products. Local businesses often benefit from the reach offered by flyers and brochures. And media studies courses still contain plenty of briefs which ask students to create print products. These tutorials can help you meet the industry standards.
