I still remember the day I have learned the basics of Photoshop. I find it complicated to hear but it was exciting when I started to learn and see how it works. Photo editing and graphic designing with Photoshop is like a magic. You can easily manipulate photos or create from nothing to something.
THE APPLICATION
Photoshop, a program created by Adobe, has been useful in many ways from enhancing photos to creating graphic designs for promoting business, events and the like. Today, there are a lot of image editors and graphics applications. But still, I find the Photoshop application more convenient – whether the materials are for web or print. This includes creating logos, flyers, banners, invitation cards, calling cards, and posters to name a few. Could you imagine how you can promote your business easier or earn by offering graphic design services from mastering Adobe Photoshop?
Now, many people are interested in learning how Photoshop works but most of them don’t know how and where to start. The good news is, we can learn almost everything online. And so, I have created this HomeWork to share and learn the basics – for free! 🙂
THE BASIC TUTORIAL
To get started, you must have the Adobe Photoshop application. Download the application’s free trial here.
A lot of people from different part of the world visits Craigslist for its several use from posting ads to buy or sell products and services to job search. As stated in an article from Entrepreneur.com, Craigslist.org gets an estimated 10 million unique visitors per day.
This have given me a reason to find Craigslist as one of the free, powerful and simplest ways to market your business online. I also find this as a helpful tool for those who wants to work at home and market their services online – reaching different part of the world. With this, I created a beginner-friendly tutorial to introduce Craigslist, learn on how to create an account and post classified ads.
