Creative Illustration with Photoshop with James Anshutz

One of the powerful features of Photoshop is the ability to combine existing resources - images, text, graphics - into a new artistic statement. Employing a wide range of Photoshop tools, including selections, layers and masks, creative compositing can be used to create fine art, greeting cards, flyers, web graphics, and an array of original artistic and design pieces.

Participants begin with a basic fine art compositing lesson; then experiment with making announcements/ greeting cards/ fliers and photographic illustration through a multiple photographic layered document.

Prerequisite: A basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop.
