Adobe Photoshop is a widely used platform and is popular amongst photographers, graphic designers, web developers, 3D artists, creative artists, and other professionals across the world. As many as 10 million users globally, find it advantageous and extremely useful to edit images and design creatives with the help of Photoshop. The demand for marketing collaterals and social media creatives have created lucrative job opportunities in the market for design experts. So, why not catch them young, and get students familiarized with the basics of Photoshop?

Like a blank canvas, Photoshop allows you to explore limitless opportunities. From the slightest editing to designing complex Infographics from scratch, it is all achievable on Photoshop. Let’s find out the versatility of this platform, and how one can make use of it.

Graphic Designing

A graphic designer basically visualizes an artwork and puts it together by adding text, visuals, and pictures, into one frame. Photoshop aids in helping designers mix & match various elements and create a beautiful illustration that can be used as a marketing collateral or a social media image, to communicate a story that the brand is trying to build up.

Web Designing

Before getting started with coding a website, you would prefer to create a framework of what the website would look like. With Photoshop you can first make a sample of the website design, page by page, or at least a prototype of the homepage, to put the design in context before actually executing it. This process makes it easier for the coder at the time of coding and even reduces errors.

Print Materials

For the purpose of marketing, a brand needs to have several collaterals printed like; standee, brochure, flyers, portfolios, etc. which share details about the product/service. These materials are usually designed, edited, and formatted in a print-ready format using Photoshop. Complex designs like 3-fold brochures are also conveniently curated in exact size and dimensions using Photoshop.

Videos

Can videos be edited on Photoshop? Certainly yes! Photoshop can be used to edit video, clips, and RAW format motion by performing different functions. The platform is capable of adding filters, changing effects, trimming videos, choosing frames, and adjusting color contrast.

3D

A three-dimensional object or layout looks pretty cool and adds detailing & depth to the image. 3D designs are used by interior decorators, architects, or even applied to products, to see how it looks in different angles. Did you know Photoshop has an in-built feature that allows plain text to be converted into 3D. Check out the ‘Windows’ tab on Photoshop and click ‘3D’ to add layers, shadow effects, and create textures to make the 2D into a 3D image.
