Picmonkey

If you are missing Photoshop , try PicMonkey - which works well on phones as well as PCs etc. It uses a lot of the same features as Photoshop such as layers, dodge, burn etc. Worth a go.

A taste of things to come ...

Visitors to the Graphics department had a taste of the type of work they will be trying in September by taking part in a workshop based around abstract typography. Using photoshop skills, Year 10 & Year 11 students took a basic font style & manipulated it with colour, reflection tools & invert tools to create a pattern / branding for "Size?" shoe retailer. They then applied the design to shoe boxes with some great results. Well done all - here are a few examples produced on the day. 

Software for summer !

GREAT NEWS !

Adobe have reset their free trials. Even if you have previously had a free trial you can get it again which is Adobe's way of showing you any new features that they have added. If you choose to continue and pay for membership to Adobe Creative Cloud after the free trial, both teachers and students can get 65% off standard prices. The free trial will certainly allow you to familiarise yourself with the new features before September. You can trial any Adobe software including Photoshop CC, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom, Premiere, etc:

Alternatively there is still PIXlr and Gimp for free software.
