Description
Photoshop really isn't that difficult.
I taught myself Photoshop when I was 14 years old because I was bored so there's absolutely no way that you can't become great at it if a 14 year old did it, and this course is going to make sure of that. I've made my bread and butter for the last few years through reselling 3 crucial products : logos, business cards and brochures.
The demand for these 3 products will never die as long as businesses exist and that's good news for the graphics designer such as yourself. This course outlines the necessary elements needed to create an effective logo, a stunning and professional business card and an outstanding brochure that your clients can use for marketing.
What makes this course unique? It's simple. This course teaches you three of the most in-demand products required by small and major businesses alike. This makes the course not only very applicable in the real world, but a great place to start for anyone looking to freelance or entering the graphics design world.
At the end of the course, you will be able to :
- Develop a strong understanding of the tools, filters and techniques necessary to create professional level work and how to implement them appropriately.
- Create professional logos for clients using the techniques taught in the course and how to present them in various formats based on the needs of the client (jpeg, png, pdf).
- Create effective business cards for clients using self-made templates and guidelines and learn how to incorporate logos in order to attain a desired product.
- Create outstanding marketing material in the form of brochures that your clients can utilize to market their products/services.
Who this course is for:
- If you know nothing about Photoshop and want to develop a skill that you can apply in order to generate income, you should take this course
- If you already know a bit about Photoshop and want to understand the essentials of good logo, business card and brochure design, you should definitely take this course
- If you're interested in the idea of freelancing or currently are a freelance artist, this course is for you
- If you have a passion for creativity and enjoy sketching, painting, or have any other creative outlet (or perhaps don't), this course is definitely for you

Hola, Salaam, Namaste and Bonjour!
My name's Moosa Mateen and I'm currently a business student in my 3rd year in University. Now you're probably wondering "what is a business student doing teaching graphic design? Shouldn't you be learning microeconomics and things about the business cycle?". Well, you're very correct, however, design is my hobby and a passion. I've been sketching and doodling since I was 5 years old and its something that has stuck to me ever since. I've won numerous art and design competitions since grade school and have been engaged in freelance work since I was 12. I was never in a design program academically, but rather, have pursued design on my own time and that is one of the reasons that I am so passionate about design work. I have worked on large scale projects such as creating logos for real estate agents at brokerages in Toronto and also help my own dad out from time to time with his own web design and artwork. I hope to share my enthusiasm and creativity through teaching at Udemy and in doing so, also wish that my lectures prove beneficial for beginners and advanced artists alike.
