Meriden Public Schools Adult and Continuing Education:
Resource Review: Graphic Design Tools*
Teacher:
Mark Lorenze, Another School Program
Type of Resource:
Adobe Photoshop, Digital Cameras, Computers, Printers, Digital Duplicator
Description:
Adobe Photoshop is a powerful, award winning
digital imaging manipulation program used by professional graphic
designers throughout the world. It is used to prepare images for
web and print applications.
How the resource was used in class:
In our class, Photoshop is used to create, enhance,
collage, repair, restore, and retouch images that are used in
a variety of mediums including the internet, and print applications.
Items produced include websites, letterheads, brochures, programs,
mouse pads, and mugs.
The things I like most about the resource
are as follows:
The power of the capability of the program
and it’s ability to create original works of art as well
as it’s ability to enhance existing images is unsurpassed
in the field of graphic design.
The student’s energy when they see the
potential of this program is exciting to observe. They are extremely
enthusiastic about learning the capability of digital manipulation
.
Limitations and suggestions to overcome
shortcomings:
The program is rather complex and has a rather
steep learning curve.
My approach is to bring the students along slowly allowing time
with practice for the capabilities to be learned.
