Introduction to Photoshop & the Apple Mac

This course is designed for a student with either basic or no knowledge of Photoshop (on either Mac or PC), and will take them to an intermediate level. By the end of the course, students will be able to use all but the most advanced functions of the programme, allowing them to produce professional looking graphics projects, such as paintings, posters/flyers, and photo-manipulated images.

The course achieves this by six weeks of detailed technical instruction, followed by four weeks self-directed learning, where the student peruses an area of specialisation of their choice.
