Hey guys in this lecture I want to cuddle why Photoshop is so incredibly important for your future.
Well you have to learn to use it as soon as possible.
I've been in the I.T. sector developing mobile apps for a number of years now and I'm constantly reading
up on how the world is changing.
I'm sure you've heard about bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general augmented reality your virtual reality
self-driving cars and block chain.
Most tech news Web sites paints a clear picture.
Everything is happening.
It's an incredible right.
Lightning fast and to be honest even though I'm involved in this field I'm still amazed by what's going
on.
Things constantly shift and change and you have to study up or be left behind.
It's clear that if you want to make it in this world you have to be fast smart lucky and a whole lot
more.
And doing that without any digital skills in this case Photoshop seems absurd.
So that's one reason to learn it to keep up with our tech oriented world.
Now let's take a breather and focus on down to earth everyday tasks.
I have a friend who's looking for a job in accounting.
He sent me his CV so I could give my two cents about it.
He created it by using one of the most popular CV templates in Romania and honestly it looks horrible.
I'm an employer myself and I see this template in 80 percent of the resumes that fall on my table.
Do you think a better designed one makes you stand out.
One hundred percent.
Yes.
And that's why you need Photoshop.
If we're being picky Adobe Indesign is also helpful but developing your design in Photoshop is still
essential.
Another friend is looking for a new relationship and obviously Facebook and Tyndall's Caps play a big
role.
Guess what he needs for his pictures.
Photoshop.
I was at a business meeting with some lovely people.
Do you know how we exchange details.
Like it was 1995.
Three business cards.
A high quality cogged makes all the difference in this digital age.
People love to feel their hand on something that's beautifully designed and made with love.
How do you do that by picking a random template from a Web site.
Of course not.
Photoshop has the answer and when you want to change jobs in the same sector or even switch careers
knowing Photoshop is a big advantage that can set you apart especially if you can wholeheartedly write
intermediate or advanced user.
I know you get the point but here's one last clear cut case you don't work in the I.T. sector yet you
need a web site to represent yourself or your business.
Do you think a WordPress template that thousands of other people are using makes a good impression.
While it may be nice looking people immediately sniff out something that isn't original.
The trust of the consumer is earned through a beautiful design be it a news letter app or web site and
guess how you do that Photoshop.
It's all about appearance.
Your digital product may have amazing content and it may be coded by an Egyptian deity.
All that doesn't matter if it's not designed right.
You need to know Photoshop.
And while browsing Yuji may help you learn a thing or two.
I suggest you jump into this course perform all the exercises and get up to speed what I'm about to
teach you is going to put you at the front of the pack.
Learning Photoshop won't magically make you up to date with everything that's going on in the world
but it will open a lot more doors and opportunities it will improve your career your personal life and
your overall success level.
It will also help you learn other programs much faster.
For me change my life in an incredible way.
But there's a separate lecture for that story.
