Photoshop Web-Classes + Giveaway

Remember how I mentioned I was very busy lately? Well, here is one of the culprits of my busy life (you might have seen it/heard elsewhere already!):
Me and my sister are now offering Photoshop Web-Classes!
I don’t think I’ve formally introduced our new Design Studio here so here it is!

The fun part of these classes is that you can take them wherever you are and at your own pace. The maximum number of students per class is 10, so you really get time if you have an specific question or you want something repeated. During the class you will be able to see the computer screen of the teacher (officially my sis) and her face as well. You can show us your pretty face if you decide to as well and we can hear you for any questions or comments, all this through the internet, you wont need a phone.

We have created 5 different classes:

There are so many ways Photoshop can help with your photos: Make them brighter, crop them, fix an unwanted object and many more… For bloggers*, we explain how to do collages, how to treat the pictures with different effects and how to add text among others. Photoshop is really a tool to do any graphics so the options are endless.
For bloggers—>Different ways to create collages, here is on example.
Para bloguer@s—>Haz collages de miles maneras, este es un ejemplo.

So we’ve been spending lots of time designing all these classes and I love the fact that I can work with my sister and divy up the work. You know, we always had the dream of working together and now even though we don’t live so close to each other we can still work together thanks to the amazing internet. We have a meeting once a week though skype which makes it way easier. These classes are part of a bigger dream for our studio, so it’s a first step. Meanwhile we are still designing logos, business cards, blog headers and any other graphic that comes along in our virtual studio.

If you are thinking of trying out the classes and are not sure yet, I have a special giveaway for you! I’m giving away 5 Web-classes to 5 lucky winners! If you win you can choose whichever class you want.

– E S P A Ñ O L –

Se acuerdan que les había comentado que estaba muy ocupada ultimamente? Bueno, hoy les cuento una de las razones de mi vida ocupada: Mi hermana y yo ahora estamos ofreciendo clases de Photoshop en la internet! Creo que formalmente no había introducido nuestro estudio de diseño nuevo aquí en el blog así que aquí está!

Lo chévere de estas clases es que las puedes tomar desde cualquier lugar y a tu propio ritmo. El número máximo de alumnos por clase es 10, así que realmente tendrás tiempo si necesitas hacer preguntas o quieres que repetin algo. Durante la clase podrás ver la pantalla de la profesora (mi hermana es la profe oficial) y también le verás su hermosa cara cuando da la clase. Los alumnos pueden mostrar si lo desean y también pueden hablar para preguntar algo, todo através de la internet, no necesitan teléfono.

This is us circa 1983! The color of the picture was faded and that background bothered me 
so I made it a little better in Photoshop. Learn how to do this too!

Estas somos nosotras alrededor de 1983. El color de la foto estaba un poco perdido 
y el palo blanco en el fondo me molestaba así que la mejoré un poco en Photoshop. 
Puedes aprender cómo hacer esto!

Hemos creado 5 clases diferentes: (Todas las clases son en inglés pero siempre podemos traducir algo si es necesario, y si quieres una clase privada la podemos hacer toda en español)

Hay muchas maneras en que Photoshop te puede ayudar con tus fotos: A cortarlas bien, darles más luz, tapar algún objeto no deseado, etc, etc. Para bloggers* también explicamos cómo hacer collages, cómo ponerle diferentes filtros o efectos a las fotos, cómo añadirle textos entre muchas otras cosas. Photoshop es una herramienta inmensa que da resultados increibles e ilimitados.

Make a collage of 2 pictures and add a little design and color
Haz un collage de 2 fotos y añádeles color un diseñito simple.

Hemos pasado bastante tiempo diseñando estas clases y a mi me encanta que puedo trabajar con mi hermana y distribuirmos el trabajo. Nosotras desde hace mucho teníamos este sueño de trabajar juntas y ahora aunque no vivimos cerca todavía lo podemos hacer gracias a la internet. Nos reunimos por skype una ve a la semana lo cual ayuda muchísimo. Estas clases son el primer paso que nos llevará hasta un gran sueño y proyecto que tenemos para nuestro estudio. Mientras tanto seguimos diseñando logos, tarjetas de presentación, headers para blogs y cualquier otro gráfico que nos soliciten en nuestro estudio virtual.

Si te llama la atención aprender pero quisieras probar las clases primero entonces aprovecha el sorteo! Estoy sorteando 5 Web-clases para 5 ganadores diferentes! Si ganas puedes escojer la clases que quieras.

    Great idea for a web class. I have never worked with photoshop but do use Gimp. It's similar to PS though I know PS has a lot more tricks.
