| You can learn how to digitally design! |
| Many have asked if I can start offering personal training/tutoring on how to
make creations with your favorite photos. I now offer training or
tutoring sessions.
(minimum
2 hours at a time for $25.00 per hour) In two – four hours depending on your pace your session will provide you with the skills to start creating on your own. You will learn what each tool can do, how to use layers, selection tool, backgrounds, paper styles, maneuver text, shadows, textures and the skill to make professional looking montages or colleges. You will learn the many basics to start creating a scrapbook page, invitation, Christmas card, and framed art. I will have you make a layout with my guidance and then you can print and upload a copy to e-mail or a web site to share your new skills with family and friends. Hiring
me as your personal tutor in PSP and digital creations will be well
worth your time and money! It will help you save time on the
many mistakes many make when they start out on there own. Why learn
the hard way. After, I had fiddled around with psp for two
months I broke down and took two online classes that were good but
would have loved to have one on one help and guidance. I would love to help you fully understand how to design pages with Corel PSP. Child
