I've got some key questions for you that may
be affecting your creative Photoshop performance & potential right
now:
●Have you ever
'spent
time' in Photoshop trying to 'figure out' a design (or get work done)
and then realized that HOURS went by and you ended up
with lousy results (and even you knew it).
Maybe you just didn't achieve what you
WANTED to do but it continued to waste so much of your time!
●Have you ever felt like you had to
'figure it out' on your own just
so that you could take FULL credit for anything you'd produce but
the process actually was painful, lengthy
(& you didn't make great progress because you were focused on
'figuring out' the technical stuff which was holding you back?)
●Ever realize that there is just so much great work out there that
ISN'T YOURS and it puts more pressure on you to 'get up to
standard' because you feel you're 'missing out' somehow?
●Ever want to impress a family member by having them say 'YOU did that?'
about your Photoshop work. (How
about just REALIZING your own creative impulses in the visual
medium?)
●Do you want to develop a graphics portfolio as an extension of your creativity
that is really impressive to prospective clients,
employers & friends but were lacking the design-oriented technical
skills to get those ideas across to etch a construct of your mind
eternally in a moment of 'flow' that you haven't quite reached yet?
Did you know it's a
literal fact that (when you reach higher levels)
you WILL create impressive
designs you haven't even thought of yet just by being
in relation to the proper design elements and knowing the
niche-specific practices of synergizing them together? (p.s.
you can't put a price on this kind of satisfaction because YOU
produced it yet it's your secret that you didn't even pre-visualize
it before you started)
●Have you secretly wondered 'how' OTHERS got their designs so good and
wherethey actually learned? (Why don't the pro's reveal and teach FULL
DESIGN tutorials from scratch?)...and how can YOU get there
faster without investing what they paid?
●How about the
excitement of creating new and better results in pulling a design
together as you go along BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO in Photoshop?
(It's a GREAT feeling that gives you unlimited freedom and
flexibility to create anew)
●Have you ever questioned if you really should go deep into
debt on a 'traditional' graphics
education (because it would seem to be the right thing to do) but
weren't sure if you were really 'THAT' committed
(financially) to a design career?
How about this?
●Ever found a new technique in Photoshop that you didn't know about
before (even though it ALREADY existed!) but it was SO COOL and it
just felt like you had this great REALIZATION & Breakthrough
because you were able to 'get something across' that you couldn't
before?
●Do you still see
(admittedly) GREAT graphic designs and wonder HOW DID THEY DO THAT? Without knowing how
to open up Photoshop and do it step-by-step yourself
(and it left you a bit jealous)?
●Ever feel intimidated by Photoshop and it's power and your lack of
being up-to-speed with it so that you fell victim to using other
'lesser' programs just so you could get 'something' done that you
already knew how to do?
(or worse just 'stuck to' Photoshop
and got nowhere?)
●Do you KNOW the potential power of Photoshop and the potential of your
creativity on the inside but feel that you just can't get them to 'mesh together' like they're supposed to most of the time?
(It's like your creativity is not being FULFILLED and you have ideas
and concepts that you just can't get across yet)
●Maybe you secretly know that you should learn from
other pro's (if you can afford & even find them) but often have a
hard time getting over your own ego to really take an
operational
leap forward to let your applied creativity grow fast?
And as someone who
already has experience;
●Have you ever felt
under pressure from your clients, boss (or worse); yourself
to PRODUCE great graphic results with Photoshop in a limited
timeframe and just couldn't perform like you thought you
could or should?!
If you've been through ANY of those situations,
you're not alone. I've been through all of them. In
everything that already exists you could say there is a scale of
awareness --- ignorance
If you desire to produce great graphic design
results in Photoshop (whether for profession or serious hobby), it
would help to be more towards the 'aware' side of things because you
don't yet know what you don't know (I found that out the hard way).
However, bridging that gap to Photoshop and
graphic design 'know-how' can often be quite expensive.
Most of what's out there is often irrelevant anyways.
Who wants to learn 'art theory' when you just
want to get right to the heart of designing? How about all
those obscure 'fx' tutorials instead getting REAL graphic design
tutorials 'from scratch'?
I've been so stubborn myself because at that
time I couldn't afford an expensive 'classroom' education (even
though it does have it's own benefits). I hope you're not 'as'
stubborn as I was because I wasted a LOT of time, however I think
you're also looking for real world results that AREN'T expensive.
You know that 'everything' doesn't come down to
what school you went to or your resume...your immediacy of quality
results are more important.
I taught MYSELF Photoshop for a large extent
and it took me months of full-time dedication.
But it wasn't until I started leveraging the
technical knowledge of OTHERS who knew Photoshop (better than me at
that point) that I started REALLY learning faster and then could
more easily release my own complete originality and creativity.
(May tutorial)
Fortunately, if you can 'get past' your own ego
(instead of remaining more ignorant), you too can LEVERAGE the
standard technical practices and techniques within Adobe Photoshop
and graphic design/desktop publishing that others can teach you, so
that your OWN creativity can finally flourish.
Finding these genre-specific
techniques DOES require a talent because no one really taught me and
you'll rarely find anything like what you're really looking for.
Ever feel that if someone 'teaches' you the
designs, that it wouldn't be YOUR design or concept? That it
would some way feel 'corrupted' or you wouldn't ever be able to take
'full credit'?
I used to think that, but it really held me back in 'getting across'
my ideas because I was left to figure out the technical process of
how to even get started.
The reality is; ALL professionals are using
(often) secret techniques and practices that are specific to a genre
of design and they RARELY break them.
Yes, you can be original but if you don't
leverage the professional, existing 'standards' you'll be limiting
yourself and few will appreciate the quality of your work.
Originality is great but without knowing how to bring the tools,
processes and general elements together you won't get very far.
The good news is that once you KNOW the
standard techniques and processes in each genre of design, THE
CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES ARE LIMITLESS. You too will be able to
de-construct the standard practices for your own benefit.
It's in reaching that industry-standard quality
that you can LEVERAGE but rarely has it been taught or figured out
and those who did figure it out want to 'hold onto' their jobs
because it took so long to get there and IS valuable.
Ok, so if this is really practical, how do we
learn?
Seeing a graphic design tutorial on video is
one of the BEST ways to learn because you understand the technical
and creative 'workflow' within Photoshop. Better yet, seeing
the RARE video tutorials that someone like me offer (who is NOT
dependent on a boss or a job) can really open your mind.
Usually, we go through this internal battle and it's just holding us back. I
went through it A LOT but it was the main thing that held me back
and without getting past our own weaknesses, we'll continue to be
amazed at the great designs out there and be amazed that we STILL can't
produce them.
Fortunately I got past that point a long time
ago with Photoshop to an extent. I finally leveraged the
technical knowledge of some others to take me to higher levels of
operation and then deconstructed designs myself (painful) and now I
can teach you these industry-grade 'practices' so that YOUR concepts
can flourish.
I'm here to give you the TOOLS, knowledge and processes within these
different areas of graphic design that I have learned through
experience or figured out on my own (the hard way).
There really ARE generalities and techniques
and once you know them 'step-by-step' in Photoshop, you too will be
able to produce professional design results in a fraction of the
time and investment and through several different learning methods.
Because of the value of this information, I am
only limiting it to 1,000 graphic designers worldwide permanently.
The PSDMonthly Photoshop video tutorials will
give you those specific skills and practices in Photoshop.
It will allow you to understand
industry-wide practices (that are rarely if ever 'taught') that will allow
YOUR creativity to flow and
be aligned
with a professional standard of design without having to be 'just
like everyone' else.
In fact I encourage originality, but
remember
THERE ARE GENERAL
PRACTICES OR TECHNIQUES WITHIN EACH AREA OF DESIGN that if you don't
know, use and apply you're just wasting your time.
For example; advertising design is one of the EASIEST (and most
overpaid) areas of applied graphic design. It's actually the
EASIEST at the 'top' of the field because you're dealing with the
best photographer's images.
You just have to know the 'standard practices'
within each genre applied WITHIN Photoshop to achieve the
industry/genre standard professional results and leverage your own
portfolio's results.
I give you the tools and standard practices
within MOST genres of design (through time) so that YOU can
finally put into pictures the concepts in your head that REACH
instant 'aha..this is good' approval rates WITHOUT spending a
fortune or getting into debt like most do.
It's in
seeing me do example designs 'from scratch' that you will understand
and be aware of the 'how to process' so that you can then apply that
Photoshop technical knowledge as you think creatively on your own.
Trying to 'figure it all out yourself' can be
self-destructive. I let my own ego in the way and it took me a
LOT longer to learn most of Photoshop. I did develop an
ability to deconstruct and reconstruct designs and this I share with
you..consider it a 'real world' education.
You too can develop that rare ability that will
give you unlimited creative potential to start 'pulling together'
new elements or concepts in your head but it comes form a base of
KNOWING HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP in the design process at professional
levels.
This is really about letting your creativity
reach it's applied potential.
Photoshop has the power.
You have the potential. It's time to BRIDGE THAT GAP instead
of feeling limited, repressed or ineffective anymore.

P.S.
Think of what you'd have to lose

If you don't 'act now' about your commitment to improve your

better alternative (even if you can afford it)?

"Thanks for the new tutorial,
I appreciate that. I like the direction you've taken, in
that you actually see something at the end of the tutorial
that is "real world" and not just something like 'here's how
to make a gel button'." -Berk
