Course Overview
Editing techniques,Artwork and Design
This particular course moves quickly and is far from generic in it’s approach.
Students who have a penchant for design and professional aspirations will find it most useful, due to it’s focused and specific nature.
As with all of our courses, there is less ‘talk’ and more ‘do’, each set of lectures is made up, using practical demonstrations that have been designed, so that our Students can work along side the lecturer at a healthy pace.

The course culminates in a ‘live brief scenario’, where students are encouraged to attack a brief, as if they were being paid for their services.

Excellent course. Well paced (for me, no waffling, just straight to the point but also providing enough explanations) and just what I was looking for. The results you can acheive from this course are excellent.

I've used PSP for a number of years, never seriously tho. I now have some new techniques and this course worked for me. I won't be using it for monetary gain but it is nice to know how to do things. Thanks.

Clear explanations of what to think about when creating images. A whistlestop tour of what Paintshop Pro can do as well, so if you have a basic idea of how to use the software, it helps solidify that knowledge.
