Photoshop CS: Essential Skills
by Mark Galer, Philip Andrews
The latest title to join the Essential Skills series, Photoshop: Essential Skills uses a tried and tested curriculum, activities taken from actual student experiences to offer an in-depth coverage of the software for educational teaching and study.
The text is laid out to be exceptionally user-friendly for both staff and student alike. Learning outcomes (aims and objectives) make life easier for the academic and the text supports an independent learning approach, which makes the text highly suitable for flexible delivery.
Illustrative activities and assignments use student's imagery and the terminology is kept as simple as possible using common usage and avoiding complicated explanations.
The text would be supported by a web site, which will include QuickTime movies of the practical activities outlined in the text. Students can also see how the essential skills can be applied outside of the context of the individual activity by observing the work in the student galleries.
- Offers a highly structured learning approach to the fundamental skills required
- Sets clear aims and objectives to become proficient in this medium
- Includes student assignments to put theoretical knowledge into a creative context
