So this week for my post I'm giving some helpful sites and tutorials to help learn and use PhotoShop, Dreamweaver, and InDesign. These are all parts of the Adobe Suite and are key in the business world. First lets start with PhotoShop.

A great place to start is www.planetphotoshop.com. This site pretty much covers almost anything and everything you will need to know for at least the basics of the program.

This next video gives the basics on how to work with layers and creation of new layers. It is the very basic starting points that everyone needs to know.


Dreamweaver allows the user to create websites in many different ways. You can code in HTML or you can use photoshopped pages to create hot spots and links instead of writing everything in. www.dreamweavertutorial.net has many videos and basic works that will help you through the process of creating a website.

The video posted below is one very helpful and creative way to help make your site look even better. It gives you step by step on how to add shadows behind boxes and images. I'm finding this very helpful in another site I am working on currently and hopefully it is useful to you as well!

InDesign is very helpful for creating posters, magazines or books. This is a link to a site that has a multitude of many of the best and most informative tutorials about InDesign, http://designm.ag/tutorials/indesign/ . It covers almost every topic you could think of and had many great examples on other works done in InDesign as well.

One video I found was very interesting. Instead of putting up another tutorial video I found that this video show'd one users 5 favorite features. Its a nice change of pace and not only tells you about the new features but also how to use them with video examples.
