Photoshop Competition

Now could be a good time to brush up on your photoshop skills. Adobe are offering a 7 day free trial at the moment. After this its £16 a month for Creative Suite for students.

There are lots of You tube tutorials that you could follow to create some interesting designs.

A bit of fun, why not Photoshop you and your friends into a location you would really like to be in right now or you could transpose your face into a film poster or onto one of our set texts?

You could mock up a new Quality Street advert, a Bond poster, you could be on the front of GQ magazine (GCSE texts) The Big Issue or in a Lucozade Ad, the front cover of the The Guardian or The Daily Mail could be your destination (A level texts).

The only restriction is your imagination!

Send me your finished designs by 4th May (may the 4th be with you....)
