Free Photoshop Lessons Online, Taught By Professionals. - Graphic Design - Web Design Group.

community@ashworthcollege.edu — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:42:34 GMT

Beginning Monday, CreativeLIVE will host a week full of 40 free online classes taught by professionals at the top of their fields. Taking down two of the largest barriers to accessing education — geography and cost — founder Chase Jarvis hopes Photoshop Week will inspire creative individuals to pursue their passion for photo editing.

Classes are geared toward all levels, from noobs to pros, but each course focuses on how photo editing can be used to further your career.

CreativeLIVE has already educated a few million people through online workshops and tutorials through the website.

"When you get these people next to each other, you get to survey and sample a broad range of styles and types of education — and you get to experience it all at the same time," Jarvis said. "What's broken is the education system. Our hope is to transcend that system."

Online audiences can interact with the instructors through social media on Twitter and Facebook. Designated students who participate in the live audience will act as ambassadors, bringing the online students' questions to instructors. This not only allows students from all over the world to take part in the course but allows them to shape its direction.

"We are inherently social. Online classes where you can download the syllabus — that is not social," Jarvis said.

Gurus are given the ultimate access to anything they might need to aid them during instruction. All workshop sessions are shot with the full CreativeLIVE treatment, using multiple cameras and equipment that keeps the audience engaged. "The best teachers you ever had were entertaining and engaging. We want to continue in that vein," Jarvis said. "They’ve gotten better and have more at their disposal."

Lesa Snider, a long-time CreativeLIVE instructor and the author of the Photoshop and iPhoto series of Missing Manuals, says being able to communicate with an engaged audience that wants to participate is a huge incentive for her as an instructor. "That is a huge difference. I can feel the whole of the Internet there with me, and it is the most rewarding and fulfilling thing that I have been able to do," she said.

Enrollment in Photoshop Week is free by signing up on the website. From looking at advanced numbers, Jarvis is hopeful this will be the biggest Photoshop course of its kind in the world.

Sophistication a New Goal for Sports Graphics. - Graphic Design - Web Design Group.

community@ashworthcollege.edu — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 19:34:50 GMT

When it comes to sports, only one thing has been worse than sports cliches and that has been sports graphics. But change is in the air. Once a grab bag of quirky logos, loud signage, bad typography, worse color schemes, odd collateral, and outlandish garb, sports graphics has become big business. And it has become an increasingly sophisticated subject of print, online and environmental design ‒ advertising, branding, marketing. Here are a handful of projects and campaigns that raise the bar, knock it out of the park, advance the ball, make the big play, show mental toughness, get over-the-hump, do all the little things needed to win. It doesn’t get any better than this.

I am confused at what he want for these Interactive Assignments?

community@ashworthcollege.edu — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 17:41:30 GMT

I started the Web Design Course in 2011 and completed at the beginning of 2012 (I thought), well it seemed that I did not complete the Interactive Assignments. It is 2013 and I am having a lot of problem with Interactive Assignments #1. #5, #6, and #7. I have submitted my assignment, it now 5 times. I do not know what he wants. I am about to say forget and not worry about submitting the assignments. Does anyone know what he want?

Web Design Course Setbacks?

community@ashworthcollege.edu — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 17:56:55 GMT

I have just received my books for the Web Design Course; needless to say I have noticed that the first book, "Sams Teach Yourself HTML in 10 Minutes" is the fourth edition. It makes reference to Internet Explorer 4; will there be a compatibility issue with browsers as I go through these lessons? I noticed the publisher has a 2010 version out, and mine is a 2006. If any of you have taken this course and can offer me some insight as to what to expect, I would greatly appreciate it.
