In addition to all of the already available resources, three new pages have recently been added to the UWW Instructional Wiki. These new pages each provide numerous video tutorials with a focus on one of the following three Adobe programs: Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator.
Adobe Photoshop is a very powerful program that allows users to touch up, tweak, and alter photographs in a nearly limitless number of ways. Photoshop can be useful to create professional looking photographs for class projects where top quality is a must. On the wiki page you will find useful videos that can teach you the basics of the program to build a solid foundation for further learning and understanding. Tutorials present include information on most of the tools available in the program, color correction, extracting parts of an image, color/contrast curves, and in-depth looks at specific often-used tools.
Where Photoshop is aimed at image manipulation, Adobe Illustrator focuses on creating images from scratch. Using numerous tools, users can create vectored pictures and logos for use in graphic design, displays, or anywhere else custom-created media can be used. Video tutorials on this page include a basic overview of the program, tips for using the program to draw from scratch, tips on using vectors, and detailed explanation of some of the more common creative tools the program has to offer.
The last in the trio of new tutorial pages is centered on Adobe InDesign, which allows for the creation of page layouts for use in physical or digital magazines, pamphlets, brochures, and more. The program grants the user complete control over text layout, font styles, image placement, and, for digital creations, embedded audio and video. On the Wiki page you can find a basic overview of InDesign, instructions on how to work with images inside the program, and how to export your project as a finalized PDF file.
