I purchased all 3 of Traci's class & learned a lot of new things in all classes. She does a great job of explaining things & keeps the class moving at a good pace. Hope to see more classes from her in the future.
Awesome class! WOW, I had no idea about the world of shadowing. I just started digital scrapbooking and knew my layouts were lacking something and now I know what...depth! I definitely feel more confident now in adding shadows to my pages and I have also graduated from Elements to the full version of PS thanks to Traci's suggestion. I am headed now to search for more classes by Traci. Thanks for a great class!
I started Digital scrapbooking several years ago with the idea of using it with Photoshop and my photography. I am estatic about Traci's course. I have templates I never used because I did not understand them. I have had trouble with shadows in Photoshop, I understand what I should be doing with my photography. I have been busy every day using the information that I learned from Traci..She is the absolute best! Thank you for including photoshop files, for I have enjoyed creating my own designs using yours as a start. I knew about clipping files, but until I saw how you used them, I did not really understand them. Best wishes in your business and home adventures.
I bought all three of Traci's classes and am very impressed. Even though I consider myself a professional Photoshop user, I learned some great new tips and tricks. Not only that, I found the classes inspiring and it kicked my digital scrapbooking creativity up a few levels. More than worth the money. Easy to watch, inspiring and a great teacher.
This class was fascinating and moved at a good pace. Scrapbookers these days use so many varied Photoshop skills and are some of the most creative thinkers around. I learned so many practical - use it right now! - tricks for shadowing any kind of object and make styles out of them for one-click usability. There's a bit much of the biography section at the front of the class but I felt the usable information was enough to warrant the purchase so I can skip the personal section. Traci is a friendly and clear speaker, and a wealth of knowledge. She should definitely be featured in more advanced scrapbooking classes AND even for creating vector embellishments!
This lesson was really an "eye-opener" with regard to shadows. This was the first time that I understood the need for paying attention to lighting, and the realism that correct shodow work add to the credibiity of a layout. Thanks Traci and I purchased the sports layouts at Sweet Shoppe that you designed. We are a sports family and I love your kits. I am finding myself looking around my house observing shadows and the affects due to lighting conditions and feel so happy about this instruction.
