Photoshop Tutorials

You need to start working through the Photoshop tutorials. These are in the 'resources' drive (click on the question mark on the dock) in the 'Tutorials' folder and there are seven to do. They are all between about 4 - 10 minutes long. Each one covers a few key skills in Photoshop.

All the photographs used in the tutorials are in the folder for you to use.
You must use Headphones.

You need to work through each one, preferably copying what I do in the tutorial for yourself as you go along. 

MAKE SURE you copy and save the images into YOUR documents area so the originals are there for everyone and are not written over.

If you already know the skill covered in the tutorial, please still follow it through so you're sure you have covered everything in it.

If you get stuck at any time, just ask for my help.

Let's get started! Media Language Grid

As we continue the course, we'll add more and more information to our knowledge about the ways different texts are organised and learn more media language as well as move through the concepts in the MIGRAIN model!

Here's the grid:
