You know you’re a Web Graphic Designer when the last two days you’ve been studying YouTube videos and tutorials in websites wanting to gain some vast knowledge and skills of how to create a great composition. Well, I did just that and more, more being I went and picked up some Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended Books. I know I know I can check out some of the videos on lynda.com, and I will. Believe me I will, however, when you go through having your computer crap out on you, you can’t very well watch those videos online let alone a small screen like my BlackBerry 9900. So, I’m going with another alternative: books. No, I don’t have a Nook or Tablet, yet. I do have an Amazon app on my phone, but like I said small screen. When I know I’ll be traveling or sitting somewhere for hours I want a book to read, the ones that have the step by step guide. I’m a visual type person, and I need something to guide me along the way. I just stumbled upon Practical Photoshop Magazine which you can subscribe to and be able to get all the tutorials sent right to your doorstep. This to me is Awesome!
Next up…Adobe Illustrator CS5 Extended Books, and Flash Books.
Oh yeah, one more thing. Upon watching some YouTube videos I created this Illustration in PS CS5 all with the brush tool. Now, be aware this was my first time working with brushes at this extremity and so bare with me if it doesn’t look exactly right.
