Reflection on Photoshop

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.

ROUGH rough rough

Starting new projects can be tough. It is hard to figure exactly what you want your design to look like, and it is hard to put all of your ideas onto your design if you do not know exactly how to work the application. Photoshop is an extremely great editing tool when it comes to making designs. Photoshop can be pretty difficult to work with if you do not know what you are doing. Here is a great YouTube video that shows you the basic steps of how to use Photoshop.

Photoshop can be very overwhelming and can be discouraging if you do not know how to use the application. I highly suggest taking time to watch some YouTube videos and reading up on what all you can do on the program. Breathe. That is one of my biggest tips, to just breathe. If you feel like you cannot accomplish your project, then click save and come back later. Learning how to use it is more important than jumpstarting to a project. Here is my very rough draft of a handout I am making for the University of Oklahoma! Everything starts out rough. It is all apart of the process!
