A few things from photoshop class

[Tarzanman]

I'll just be blunt, then.

If the assignment they gave you is any indication, then you will still suck at photoshop when you're finished with that class. In my opinion, it is not worth the time and money in when you can learn the same techniques off of any of a dozen websites in less time.

I'm not hating on you or your homework. I am trying to enlighten you so that you don't wake up one day after you've taken 3 or 4 of these classes and wonder why non-artists with no formal training are running circles around you at photoshop (or lightroom or whatever).

If all you can discern from any of posts is some kind of insult, then there's nothing I can do. People will see what they want to see.

this is the cold hard truth, but then again everyone has to start somewhere. I have been a designer for about 10 years now, and in my school this level of work would have been unacceptable. If you take offence to these words, just wait when you start interviewing for a job you will NEED to only survive, and the art director flips though your work like a deck of cards, then casually dismisses you with a wave and tells you you are not a proper fit. You have to be better than the best person in your class to even have a shot in any kind of creative business.

I have to admit though, that your valve covers look much better than what you posted here, I am also surprised that a photography major wouldn't have more legit photography, showcasing your post processing.

I understand, and thank you for your . I know that I am no where near qualified to be hired just yet, but I am working towards it.

As with my valve covers& art, THAT is my calling. When I paint I'm not in the mind set of taking AMAZING pictures of things, I'm just worried about fulfilling the customers requests. I mean, if the customer asked me to take all these really good pics, then I would, otherwise I focus all on painting. But thank you for taking the time to look at them!
