Nathan Barry – Photoshop for Interface Design [REDUCED] [57 MP4,18 PSD,1 PDF,1 PNG]

This is the $249 package that walks you through actual product and interface design without wasting your time with Photoshop basics like red-eye removal. With Fiverr just a click away, why bother to learn these skills yourself? Speed – what you can imagine, you can now bang out in a few minutes. Privacy – not having your confidential designs or approach to the problem spread out over the internet 15 minutes after you award the project. And you now have new skills you can offer your online and offline clients. This is a well thought out training (although he does stumble a bit on occasion) and in some instances the audio seems to be a little on the low side. I kept the video size the same so you can see the detail, but the Magic Shrink Ray(в„ў) did a stellar job knocking about 60% off the original size. RECOMMENDED

Most Photoshop courses start by teaching you how to remove redeye, crop a photo, or remove unwanted background elements. Skills used by photographers, not interface designers.

The valuable interface design skills, such as paths and layer styles, are saved for intermediate and expert level courses. Meaning you have to suffer through learning how to turn a photo black and white before you can learn to improve your software design.

Learn skills you’ll use every day

Photoshop is such a powerful tool that it is used by everyone from print designers, to photographers, to app developers. Unfortunately that power comes with a complex feature set that is time consuming to learn.

That’s why it’s important to learn the tools in Photoshop that are actually used for designing websites and software—skipping past the parts that may be useful someday, but won’t get that app designed in time for your product launch.
