Graphic Designers in Logan, UT

Cengage Course Technology has some great books. Check them out.

If it's graphic design she is interested, she should learn to use Adobe Illustrator not Photoshop. However, traditional drawing skills is important even though some like to draft directly in the software. Lynda.com is a good resource where they teach basics of graphic design for example typography, color theory, composition etc (if my memory serves me right). I'm happy to give more tips if it's helpful.

1) USE IT! Even if she doesn't know anything about it, get her hands dirty. 2) join FB groups that focus on what she's trying to do (retouch photos, web design mockups, 3 d stuff ect) 3)Lynda.com has some AWESOME free stuff 4)YouTube is the greatest free teacher I've ever had for specific methods, tasks and processes. PS is one of those programs where there are 500 ways to do the same thing and each way is the right way. You're never done learning it and you're constantly finding new, faster, easier ways to do something. Something Paul Barker told me when I first learning it that has saved me tons of time: learn the keyboard short cuts for the tools and for common tasks.

Yes lynda.com agreed

Paging Maya Dehlin. Please see Adam Winger's comments.

BATC offers really cheap classes in Adobe suite as well. Lynda.com is great too.

lynda.com and adobe has lots of tutorial, and youtube

As mentioned above, Adobe Creative Cloud is a great way to go -- you get all the Adobe products for a good price. If you want to buy a software package (or hardware and peripherals), keep an eye on JourneyEd.com for deals.

John Lynda.com is the best and the North logan library has it set up so you can get all of the tutorials free at home

Adobe Creative Cloud. If your daughter is a student, it's only $30/month for a number of adobe products, instruction manuals, and courses free or at reduced prices. I've tried products like Gimp and they are not at all equivalent.

IMO YouTube is the ultimate best place to learn since you can see what they are doing and follow along. Start with just searching for photoshop tutorials and you'll find more than you can handle, from there you'll find channels that you like the style of and can see more of that person's tutorials https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=photoshop+tutorial Here's some free sites that I like: http://www.photoshopcafe.com/ http://www.pslover.com/ http://design.tutsplus.com/categories/adobe-photoshop http://www.pixel2 life.com/tutorials/adobe_photoshop/ http://www.psdbox.com/category/beginners-serie http://www.good-tutorials.com/ There's really so many tutorial websites and YouTube videos out there that it's pretty easy to become self taught. That is how I did it. When I come across something new that I'm not sure how to do I go find a tutorial on it and learn it. Sometimes going through complete online courses can be overload since you'll learn things you might not have a need for yet and will forget it by the time you need it anyway. Also, the paid courses are great and all, but you really can find all the same stuff for free elsewhere as well. It might take more searching, but I always like free.

I second Lynda.com and there are also classes on Udemy.com.

Lynda.com is a decent resource, but youtube has such a vast array of tutorials geared toward beginning designers that it would be my #1 reccomendation for learning. Plus it is free. Also, after she begins to orient herself with the tools, she should put together a project of her own, be it web or print, and get to work making that. Photoshop is just a tool though, and the most important thing she can learn is making decisions and learning design principles. Have her constanly exposed to the best designs/designers out there as she learns the tools.

Lynda.com has great free courses (adobe even uses it internally for training sometimes)

My daughter uses Paint Tool SAI and is able to do some amazing things. It is a cheaper alternative to Photoshop. One important upgrade to get is the intuos tablet as opposed to using a mouse per my daughter.

I'll repeat the Lynda.com recommendation with one addition: don't get a degree in graphic design. It's rarely a good value in the workplace.

I'm going to suggest something more 21 st century and have her check out one of the many tutorials on YouTube. I'll also second the opinion that PS isn't the best graphic design tool. How To Get Started With Photoshop CS6 - 10 Things…: http://youtu.be/OjRqZiAgoHo

lynda.com is great

If she has an Adobe account, and a subscription to the Photoshop & Lightroom via the Creative Cloud...Adobe has tutorials. I'm not sure of the student price. I pay $10 a month. http://www.adobe.com/creativecloud.html

John Dehlin, it has taken me a good three years, but hands-down, the BEST BEST BEST way is through Damien Symonds: Retouching & Photoshop Training. His lessons are absolutely worth their weight in platinum. I am very good at photoshop now, all because of him. I NEVER use actions. I do clean processing, and custom collages, etc. It takes time, but it is *SO* worth the effort.

Lynda.com is amazing

I'm of two minds here: there are good options for vector graphics and image processing applications that will do most of what Photoshop gives you and are still relatively inexpensive. On the other hand, Photoshop is the standard for image processing, so it (or perhaps Photoshop Elements, which has a very similar UI) is probably the platform she may wish to learn, particularly if this is something she wishes to pursue professionally.

Kyle Miller - Do you know if lynda.com has a student price?

Lynda.com. So good that most college courses in Graphic Design include lessons from it.

You might want to check your local or university library. The SLC Library offers free access to Lynda.com with your library card number from any computer.

I second lynda.com. It's the most professional resource I know to be available. The best part about it is that with a subscription you can have access to project files and do the work along with the instructor in the tutorials.

Lynda.com has a bunch of great lessons for Photoshop.

lynda.com is an option

If she's using it for photography, she should also learn Lightroom, which comes included with Photoshop for $9.99 a month direct from Adobe. As a professional photographer, I do 90% of my work in Lightroom and the rest in Photoshop. However, as a graphic artist, she may just be using Photoshop. There is a student package where you can pay $99 for the entire year. Lynda.com is a great resource, but so is phlearn.com. Adobe.tv has many great free videos that will help her learn Photoshop.

Campsaver.com thanks Melissa Romriell Horrocks
