30 Goals: Adobe Programs (aka Photoshop)
Only this past year have I really started using Photoshop more. I still use InDesign and Illustrator, but only when a project calls for those. My main concentration has been teaching myself how to paint in Photoshop. Which is a bit easier than painting in Illustrator, I think.
I started by making a goal of creating one picture a month, and then sending it to my grandma. I thought it was a fun way to keep in touch, while also learning and practicing a new skill, and hopefully keeping me more on track. It has worked out fairly well, and if I miss a month or two, I catch up later.
I don't think too much of the pictures I have made so far, but I'm actually having fun! Which is a big feat for me since I'm working on a computer. Usually technology and I don't work very well together.
My process for accomplishing and continuing this goal:
-make small and time sensitive goals
-pick a topic or theme for a picture or multiple pictures
-maybe watch a class or two on Skillshare
-paint on photoshop with the same process I have for an actual painting
The good news is I've been completing projects! Not just on Photoshop, but this year overall. It's been a long process, but I knew that ahead of time.
As someone said, "It doesn't get easier, you just get better."
So here is to getting better every day!
