One of the most enjoyable units I get to teach is a small Photoshop unit. I wish it was an entire class like in other places, but hey anytime with Photoshop is much appreciated. I love the nearly unlimited creative options it provides. I love how challenging it is and I love how anyone (even if they can’t draw) has the opportunity to express themselves artistically and digitally.
Above is video from the PBS web series Off Book where professionals talk about how they use Photoshop and how they feel Photoshop has changed the world (for better or worse). To see more Photoshop awesomeness check out the video below where TJ Townsend recreates a Metroid screen shot with over 500 layers.
