Free Photoshop Course

The very talented guys over at CreativeTechs started a 6 month Photoshop course. Free. I sat in on their Illustrator class a few months ago and it was terrific! It's a video conference, so you hear the instructor giving instructions at the same time you see the program's screen. In the class I took, there was an hour of instruction followed by an hour of Question and Answer.

The Photoshop course started last Thursday, and meets once a week. They make an archive of the videos available for a modest fee if you can't make the class.

If you been wishing you had better Photoshopping skills, here's your chance! I highly recommend this set of classes to anyone who wants to learn to use Photoshop.

I did mention it was FREE, right?

Do You Hear Voices?

Floodgate has done it again! This is an AWESOME short video for a service starter that is at 30% off only until midnight CST on Monday, August 31.

Frankly, even without 30% off, it's an incredible video. I love that it's only 2 minutes long.

I think I might love it more if they had used voice-overs, because I don't know how many people miss the message of videos when required to sit and read them. It's just a gut-level feeling after watching people in our congregation and how they respond to various videos, though. Someone should do a scientific study about that.

Go watch it - sale or no sale; voice or no voice. See how it can serve the vision of your church.

Major props to Floodgate for this short!
