As I have spent the past few days working on photoshops and designing different handouts for OU recruitment services, I have found that photoshop can be very frustrating. It is a very detailed application and it can be very difficult to get the hang of how everything works. It is very important to take the time to learn how to use photoshop and to not skip the instructions in the beginning of downloading.
There are so many different YouTube videos for all different types of learners that allows you to move at your own pace, or allow you to work with them as they go along. Taking the time to learn all the tips and tricks will make designing so much easier. Take the time to find the video that you can follow along with and are enjoying watching.
There will be mental breakdowns. That is okay. Breathe and, like I always say, take a step away. You need to have time to allow your feelings to regulate and calm down. Then come back, you will always be more prepared then, and maybe even come back with some new ideas.
