"Dear Student,

As a professional graphic designer I have spent over 20 years using Photoshop. As an experienced user I can help all levels of students from absolute novice to intermediate-level. I am also an artist and illustrator and can teach Photoshop as a fine-art medium.

Having worked on-staff for ad agencies and corporate creative services departments, I have mentored many younger designers in the use of Photoshop. Learning Photoshop can seem like a daunting endeavor, but with the proper guidance and instruction, you will gain an understanding of the program.

On our first lesson, I will ask you to tell me what your goals and interests are with Photoshop. This will help me tailor a lesson plan which will teach you the basics of the program and then move on to sample project lessons targeted to your specific interests and goals. The lessons I prepare for you will help you develop the skills to use Photoshop in any situation, even if it is outside your area of interest.

Photoshop has personally helped me in my professional career. It is one of the most in-demand software tools and is used by both print, web, app and game designers.

I look forward to helping you achieve your goals and gain new skills and confidence.

Regards,

Mark H. Art Direction & Graphic Design" less...
