    Dream come true!!! I've wanted to make movie posters for years! The 3D part needs to updated for the current Photoshop 2025+ as 3D was removed.

    One of the best classes I've taken with Creative Live! Like another reviewer said, I too was yelling at my computer in excitement and taking pages of notes along the way. I learned so many valuable techniques in this short but sweet class. Thank you Corey!! You rock!

    There are some nice Photoshop tips in there and the bonus material includes all the images used in the class. Only con is that there are no subtitles provided.

    Corey doesn't disappoint! As a designer that has to use social effects in my client's marketing campaigns on a daily basis, this type of course is exactly what I need to bring in fresh new ideas and adds a ton of fx weapons to my arsenal!

  • Trula B. Nov 24, 2018

    This! Oh, this! More good stuff in this short class than can be listed. I am hardly a Photoshop newbie, but the things I learned here! Like another reviewer wrote, I was cheering out loud while watching. I'll be buying all the Corey Barker classes I can get. Thank you Creativelive.

    So happy to find this class by Corey Barker and loved it! It definitely helps if you are familiar with Photoshop but he teaches you so many fun, new things in regards to poster development. I love this is in video because you can watch and re-watch if you don't understand something the first time. You can see how much Corey loves his work and he shares his passion with you! Thanks for another great class!! I look forward to owning more of his classes and they are so affordable!! Thanks Corey!!

    I have 2 classes by Corey now and both are short BUT packed with great info. In the future, I'll probably buy any class he does here on CreativeLive. Not only are his classes great, but I like his personality, too

    I learned so many fun Photoshop tricks in Corey's course. I recommend it for beginners, even though it might be mind boggling at first, to pros who will immediately use many of the tips and tricks. Thanks Corey!

  • Fabrizio E. Nov 17, 2017

    Awesome! Corey makes it so simple. And I learned a few things. Thanks!

  • Nathalie G. Nov 3, 2017

    Genial! Exactly the effects I wanted to learn! Creating this poster is simplier than I thought. Now my time to try making one.

  • S B. Oct 26, 2017

    I wish there were couple of more examples because I am not only learning about poster look, there are so many stuffs in photoshop that he uses in this class which I never have known before the class. These class should be a part of overall Intermediate or Advance Photoshop classes :)

    I was literally screaming at my computer while watching this... like it was a football game or something!! YES! OMG!! SO much information - was taking notes every 2mins, and laughing along with the studio audience. Best CreativeLIVE course I have seen. Watched in it all in one go, and will re-watch many times I am sure. Very happy with my purchase. Thank you, Corey!!
