This new title teaches advanced design techniques using one of the most popular photo editing programs on the market, Adobe Photoshop CS3. Using step-by-step tutorials, students work with curves, levels, blending modes, special effects, and painting and drawing tools to create professional-level designs and images. They are challenged not only as Photoshop users, but as designers, and learn about the design profession by following the steps a designer would take to complete real-world projects. They also learn what works in a design, and what doesn't. Students then take their craft a step further through advanced end-of-chapter learning projects. The book's full color interior and highly-visual design combine to make this the ideal book for learning advanced design techniques using the latest version of Adobe Photoshop.
