I love running graphic design training courses especially when you see what people create in the space of one day. I love this image created on a recent Photoshop Course by one of the delegates. Who, incidentally had never used the software before.
See the before and after shots.
Made by Serif Affinity Photo is their answer to Photoshop. It can be used for many of the same things as Photoshop including retouching, restoring and manipulating photographs. The two have some similiarities but it has to be said the Affinity Photo does contain some unique and interesting workflows.
Price. Unlike Photoshop which is a subscription based payment model Serif Affinity Photo has a one off payment – then it belongs to you, forever. No more fees, ever and you are not locked into a subscription based payment model. It costs in the region of £50.00. Although not every Photoshop feature is available for the money and provides a realistic image editing alternative.
Welcome to the Two Minute Tut’s series where you can learn one Adobe technique, tool or feature in approximately two minutes and today is the turn of the nifty little Colour Theme Tool in Adobe InDesign.
Training seems to go round in circles – one month it’s full of Photoshop Training another its InDesign Courses and May has been no different. It has been full with InDesign Interactive PDF courses. I seemed to have travelled from the heart of the Midlands, up to Yorkshire, down to London and just about everywhere else in between this last month.
So what is InDesign PDF and what are the main reasons for people requesting training in it.
As with most things in life the main reason people learn PDF is to save money and there are huge financial benefits to sending your company literature out either by email or via a link online. Straightaway the benefits are obvious –
The most of obvious savings are the huge postage costs immediately slashed and your paper and ink bills also slashed.
Using PDF means you can create and distribute your own digital documents. These can be as simple as plain text with links for navigating the document or creating and designing a more creative interactive document such as a newsletter, brochure or slideshow. Working with InDesign gives you the ability to create very visually appealing and professionally presented .PDF documents for export.
The course has just been updated to reflect the ever changing and growing requirements of some clients and amongst other elements you will learn how to:

There are a number of ways to create columns in InDesign but in this InDesign tutorial it’s the Text Frame Object that will be covered. In this one box you have the ability to set the amount of columns, balance them evenly and to adjust the width between them.

One of the questions I get asked on Illustrator Training Courses is ‘How do I crop an Image in Illustrator’? Quite simply in earlier versions the answer was you can’t. We used clipping masks and workarounds in those early versions.
However that’s all changed in Illustrator CC because now it comes fully equipped with a crop tool
As well as introducing you to its tools and features the Illustrator training is also packed choc a bloc with hints & tips for more effective working within the software. One of the features covered on this Introduction to Illustrator course are the basics of designing and producing artwork such as logo’s.
And one of the tools covered on the training is the under-utilised but highly effective Width tool. Take a look at the mini video tutorial on using this tool.
