[SOUND] Hello there, I'm Shon Dempsey,
a freelance graphic designer with over
0:04
13 years of professional experience, and
quite a few more just playing around.
0:09
Designer photography is more
accessible than it ever has been.
0:14
Hardware is better,
software is less expensive, and
0:18
decent cameras are in our pockets.
0:21
Naturally more people are interested
in either making a career in design, or
0:24
wanna just elevate their photos.
0:28
Making your creations look great on
devices and in print can be overwhelming.
0:31
If you're like I used to be,
taking a photo and just hoping for
0:37
the best when it prints, it can
certainly lead to some frustration or
0:40
concessions in your standards.
0:45
I'm gonna spend some time
demystifying displays,
0:47
resolution, [SOUND] graphic types,
color and more [SOUND].
0:52
Setting up your documents from the very
beginning with these things in mind is so
0:57
critical for the success of your project.
1:01
Lucky for us, quite a few apps these days
take some of the guesswork out of it for
1:03
us with templates.
1:08
We'll be able to make any
adjustments to those templates and
1:09
understand why we're making them.
1:13
I want you to leave this course with
the foundation of those ideals,
1:15
so your next creation, or
the next time you ask for a creation,
1:19
you've got some working knowledge of
what that will entail to get started.
1:22
I also wanted to provide an introduction
to one of the most prolific graphics
1:28
programs, Adobe's Photoshop.
1:32
We'll do a flyover tour of
their user interface, and
1:34
learn the structure of
a Photoshop document.
1:37
Finally, we'll combine some photo color
correction tools with a few other
1:40
elements, to lay out advertising graphics
formatted for web, a mobile app, and
1:45
a Twitter post.
